tim graham - robert louis stevenson - dedicatory poem for 'underwoods' lyrics
to her, for i must still regard her
as feminine in her degree
who has been my unkind bombarder
year after year, in grief and glee
year after year, with oaken tree;
and yet betweenwhiles my laudator
in terms astonishing to me +
to the right reverend the spectator
i here, a humble dedicator
bring the last apples from my tree
in tones of love, in tones of warning
she hailed me through my brief career;
and kiss and buffet, night and morning
told me my grandmamma was near;
whether she praised me high and clear
through her unrivalled circulation
or, sanctimonious insincere
she d+mned me with a misquotation +
a chequered but a sweet relation
say, was it not, my granny dear?
believe me, granny, altogether
yours, though perhaps to your surprise
oft have you spruced my wounded feather
oft brought a light into my eyes +
for notice still the writer cries
in any civil age or nation
the book that is not talked of dies
so that shall be my termination:
whether in praise or execration
still, if you love me, criticise!
