DEDICATION OF POEMS
To Wilfrid and Alice Meynell

IF the rose in meek duty
May dedicate humbly
To her grower the beauty
Wherewith she is comely;

If the mine to the miner
 5
The jewels that pined in it,
Earth to diviner
The springs he divined in it;
To the grapes the wine-pitcher
Their juice that was crushed in it,
 10
Viol to its witcher
The music lay hushed in it;
If the lips may pay Gladness
In laughters she wakened,
And the heart to its sadness
 15
Weeping unslakened,
If the hid and sealed coffer,
Whose having not his is, To the loosers may proffer
Their finding--here this is;
 20
Their lives if all livers
To the Life of all living,--
To you, O dear givers!
I give your own giving.
