Love
Well I Remember How You Smiled
From Imaginary Conversations and Poems: A Selection
LoveTime & Brevity
Well I remember how you smiled
To see me write your name upon
The soft sea-sand--'O! what a child!
You think you're writing upon stone!'
I have since written what no tide
Shall ever wash away, what men
Unborn shall read o'er ocean wide
And find Ianthe's name again.
