FOR

A DEDICATION

"Thou that in life's crowded city art arrived thou know'st not how,

By what path or on what errand-list and learn thine errand now.

From the palace to the city on the business of thy King

Thou wert sent at early morning, to return at evening.

And know this, at thy returning thou wilt surely find the King

With an open book before him, waiting to make

reckoning.
