TO MY FATHER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: As the poorest may borrow some treasure
Last Line: May ennoble my words unaware.
Subject(s): Fathers; Memory; Prayer


As the poorest may borrow some treasure
To adorn what is meagre or bare,
So a memory loved beyond measure
I lay on my book, with the prayer,
Its dear presence all fault may efface,
And a lingering touch of its grace
May ennoble my words unaware.
