To the Honble. Mrs. George Lamb

1.

The sacred song that on mine ear
       Yet vibrates from that voice of thine,
I heard, before, from one so dear—
       ‘T is strange it still appears divine.

2.

But, oh! so sweet that look and tone
       To her and thee alike is given;
It seemed as if for me alone
       That both had been recalled from Heaven!

3.

And though I never can redeem
       The vision thus endeared to me;
I scarcely can regret my dream,
       When realised again by thee.
