IN DIVERS TONES

BY

AUTHOR OF "ORION, AND OTHER POEMS"; PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF KING'S COLLEGE, WINDSOR, N. S.

To My Friend,
EDMUND COLLINS.

In divers tones I sing,
  And pray you, Friend, give ear!
My medley of song I bring
  You, who can rightly hear.

Themes gathered far and near,
  Thoughts from my heart that spring,
  In divers tones I sing,
And pray you. Friend, give ear!

Here's many a serious thing—
  You'll know if it's sincere.
Where the light laughters ring
  You may detect a tear.
In divers tones I sing,
  And pray you, Friend, give ear!
