Impromptu, In Reply To A Lady

________________________________________________
Title:     Impromptu, In Reply To A Lady
Author: Sir John Carr [More Titles by Carr]

Impromptu,

IN REPLY TO A LADY
Who asked the Author what Childhood resembled.


How like is childhood to the lucid tide
That calmly wanders thro' the mossy dell,
Sweeps o'er the lily by the margin's side,
And, as it kisses, murmurs out, Farewell!






[The end]
Sir John Carr's poem: Impromptu, In Reply To A Lady
