To H. C.

By Sir Henry Taylor (1800–1886)

(In Reply)

IT may be folly,—they are free

Who think it so, to laugh or blame,—

But single sympathies to me

Are more than fame.

The glen and not the mountain-top

I love; and though its date be brief,

I snatch the rose you send, and drop

The laurel leaf.
