To O.W.H. Poem by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward

To O.W.H.



AUGUST 29, 1879.

I had no song so wise and sweet,
As birthday songs, dear friend, should be.
Silent, among a hundred guests,
I only prayed for thee.


Such wishes held the speaking lip,
Such mood of blessing took me, there,
That music, like a bird to heaven,
Flew, and was lost in prayer.
