TO THE LADY ELEANOR BUTLER AND THE HONORABLE MISS PONSONBY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A stream, to mingle with your favourite dee
Last Line: Even on this earth, above the reach of time!
Subject(s): Gays & Lesbians


A STREAM, to mingle with your favourite Dee,
Along the VALE OF MEDITATION flows;
So styled by those fierce Britons, pleased to see
In Nature's face the expression of repose;
Or haply there some pious hermit chose
To live and die, the peace of heaven his aim;
To whom the wild sequestered region owes
At this late day, its sanctifying name.
GLYN CAFAILLGAROCH, in the Cambrian tongue,
In ours, the VALE OF FRIENDSHIP, let 'this' spot
Be named; where, faithful to a low-roofed Cot,
On Deva's banks, ye have abode so long;
Sisters in love, a love allowed to climb,
Even on this earth, above the reach of Time!
