Living

To My Nose

by Alfred Henry Forrester (Alfred Crowquill) 1804–1872

From A New Library of Poetry and Song, ed. William Cullen Bryant (1877)

Living

Knows he that never took a pinch,
Nosey, the pleasure thence which flows?
Knows he the titillating joys
Which my nose knows?

O nose, I am as proud of thee
As any mountain of its snows;
I gaze on thee, and feel that pride
A Roman knows!
