Dedication—To My Wife

Name: Poems - Dedication— To My Wife
Author: William Ernest Henley

Take, dear, my little sheaf of songs,
For, old or new,
All that is good in them belongs
Only to you;

And, singing as when all was young,
They will recall
Those others, lived but left unsung -
The bent of all.
W. E. H
APRIL 1888
