Written in the Blank Leaf of a Lady's Commonplace Book

by Thomas Moore 1779–1852

From Juvenile Poems

Arts & Sciences

Here is one leaf reserved for me,
From all thy sweet memorials free;
And here my simple song might tell
The feelings thou must guess so well.
But could I thus, within thy mind,
One little vacant corner find,
Where no impression yet is seen,
Where no memorial yet hath been,
Oh! it should be my sweetest care
To write my name for ever there!
