Excerpt from Poems and Sonnets Look thou therein, and looking, ever see What others see not - work that is thy work, Because thy spirit often wrought in me, And shaped my task towards a nobler end Than had been compassed by myself alone. Read thou imprinted on its every page Thine own good influence over all my life; Read thou in it the better part of me, The stronger, purer pulses of my heart, That learned from thee to beat for higher aims; And read thou loyal, reverent love, that flows freshly from that heart for thee.
