If so, most willingly I'll send
To thee my humble mite.

And if I could thy thoughts engage
When I am far away,
With pleasure I would fill a page
Within thy Album gay.

But sickness and domestic care
My mind now occupy,
And scarce a moment can I spare
For soothing poesy.

But soon the balmy breathing spring
Will deck the hill and grove,
And health and joy I trust will bring
To the dear friends I love.
