Away My Verse

By Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)


AWAY my verse; and never fear,
As men before such beauty do;
On you she will not look severe,
She will not turn her eyes from you.
Some happier graces could I lend	5
That in her memory you should live,
Some little blemishes might blend,
For it would please her to forgive.
