To The Wife Of A Poet

O faithful friend! O gentle wife!
I know I may not add to-day
One drop unto thy “wine of life,
“Of love, or happiness, or pride;
I know ‘t is only mine to lay
One rose-leaf on the mantling tide.

O, what without thy sunny face,
Lit with the day-spring from above,
Were thine abode of song and grace,—
Art’s fairy realm, joy’s resting-place,—
Where now a sacred trio meet,
Power, innocence, contentment sweet,
Genius and infancy and love!
