Living
Riddle 71
From At the Sign of the Sphinx (Second Series)
Living
When brave Leander was immersed,
And through the waters passed,
We ’re very sure he was my first,
But he was not my last.
And my whole garments which he wore,--
This young enthusiast,--
Laid in my first upon the shore,
Would have become my last.
