DEDICATION OF A BOOK

Maurice Henry Hewlett

To the Fountain of my long Dream, To the Chalice of all my Sorrow, To the Lamp held up, and the Stream Of Light that beacons the Morrow;

To the Bow, the Quiver and Dart, To the Bridle-rein, to the Yoke Proudly upborne, to the Heart On Fire, to the Mercy-stroke;

To Apollo herding his Cattle, To Proserpina grave in Dis; To the high Head in the Battle, And the Crown — I consecrate this.
