To Dr. Thomas Shearer Poem by Sidney Lanier

To Dr. Thomas Shearer

Rating: ★2.6


Presenting a portrait-bust of the author.



Since you, rare friend! have tied my living tongue
With thanks more large than man e'er said or sung,
So let the dumbness of this image be
My eloquence, and still interpret me.
