Living
Lines: Written in a Bible Presented by the Author to His Godchild
From Poems (1851), vol. II: Poems Referring to the Period of Infancy and Childhood
Living
'Tis little I can give thee now,
And less that I shall leave ;
Yet this small present, as I trow,
Is, in acquittance of my vow.
The very lest
That could attest
My anxious love
For thee, sweet Dove,
The best thou canst receive.
