To Miss M. T. R.

Title:     To Miss M. T. R.
Author: James Avis Bartley [More Titles by Bartley]

Whate'er may be my unknown fate
Upon this dark, terrestrial sphere,
Wilt smile to hear that I am blest,
And o'er my anguish shed thy tear?

Methinks it were a happy lot,
That thou would'st grieve or smile with me;
And though all others prove most false,
I ne'er should find untruth in thee.

Yes! thou wouldst seem some heavenly one
If such thy friendship followed me,
Nor would I cease, through every change,
To crave of Heaven its love for thee.

[The end]
James Avis Bartley's poem: To Miss M. T. R.
