TO AUSTIN DOBSON, by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE Poet's Biography First Line: Neighbour of the near domain Last Line: Neither may be named alone. Subject(s): Dobson, Austin (1840-1921) | |||
Neighbour of the near domain, Stay awhile your passing wain! Though to give is more your way, Take a gift from me to-day! From my homely store I bring Signs of my poor husbanding; -- Here a spike of purple phlox, Here a spicy bunch of stocks, Mushrooms from my moister fields, Apples that my orchard yields, -- Nothing, -- for the show they make, Something, -- for the donor's sake; Since for ten years we have been Best of neighbours ever seen; We have fronted evil weather, Nip of critic's frost, together; We have shared laborious days, Shared the pleasantness of praise; Brother not more close to brother, We have cheered and helped each other: Till so far the fields of each Into the other's stretch and reach, That perchance when both are gone Neither may be named alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE SIGN OF THE LYRE by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE AN OLD SONG BY NEW SINGERS: 'MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB': 1.
