The Spires Of Oxford PDF Download

Excerpt from The Spires of Oxford and Other Poems To you who see The world with me I give this book. If you in courtesy should look With favour on its pages claim The title deed and write your name Here on this page. To you who know The glamour of the passing show, Sublime and sordid, trivial, great, But life, - this book I dedicate. As casual lookers-on we meet Here at some corner of the street. It's good to know you see it too, Smile, sigh and wonder when I do; That you discern the crooked jest Of contrast 'twixt our worst and best, Humour is ever friendship's test. I like to know you hear the call Of all things sad, neglected, small; Thrill to the magic of the wind, Love country, town and your own kind, Sinners and saints and sea and sky Just as they are, for so do I. Then let this book I fain would mend Be yours, my friend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
