Sweet friends, receive my offering. You will find              Against each worded page a white page set:--              This is the mirror of each friendly mind              Reflecting that. In this book we are met.              Make it, dear hearts, of worth to you indeed:--              Let your white page be ground, my print be seed,              Growing to golden ears, that faith and hope shall feed.              YOUR OLD SOUL
