Classic Poem

To the Signorina Maria A

by Edward Henry, Bishop of Exeter Bickersteth

Tell me, little maiden,
Can verse mean aught to thee?

Only from hearts o'erladen,
O happy little maiden,
Where pain all joy doth deaden,
Escapeth poetry.

How then, dear little maiden,
Can verse mean aught to thee?
