Robin Hood: a Fragment Robert Southey

Mo Ltian. TO EDITH MAY WARTER. Daughter and friend !my husbands daughter dear, Thou who hast been a very Ruth to me, Accept (to thee inscribed how lovingly) This wintry coronal; pale leaves and sere, My latest last. Some strewn as oer a bier, Inwoven some with his immortal bay Who loved to think that, with the linked lay Fast linked, our names to many an after-year. Memorial of our friendship, should go down Tho far apart we made our bed in death. I gather up the scantlings for that crown Prepared ;the first and few. A withering breath Hath scattered all beside. God swill be done !A nd the two names shall live for they are one. CAROLINE SOUTHEY.
