  ALBUM VERSES

  IN THE ALBUM OF A CLERGYMAN'S LADY

  (? 1830)

  An Album is a Garden, not for show

  Planted, but use; where wholesome herbs should grow.

  A Cabinet of curious porcelain, where

  No fancy enters, but what's rich or rare.

  A Chapel, where mere ornamental things

  Are pure as crowns of saints, or angels' wings.

  A List of living friends; a holier Room

  For names of some since mouldering in the tomb,

  Whose blooming memories life's cold laws survive;

  And, dead elsewhere, they here yet speak, and live.

  Such, and so tender, should an Album be;

  And, Lady, such I wish this book to thee. The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
