Living
How to Read Me
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
To turn my volumes o'er nor find
(Sweet unsuspicious friend!)
Some vestige of an erring mind
To chide or discommend,
Believe that all were loved like you
With love from blame exempt,
Believe that all my griefs were true
And all my joys but dreamt.
