[JOHN CLARK RIDPATH]

Mon cher Monsieur le Secretaire,
Your song flits with me everywhere;
It lights on Fancy's prow and sings
Me on divinest voyagings:
And when my ruler love would fain
Be laid upon it--high again
It mounts, and hugs itself from me
With rapturous wings--still dwindlingly--
On!--on! till but a ghost is there
Of song, Monsieur le Secretaire!

[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Monsieur Le Secretaire
