"The Album's Petition"
Grant my petition with a smile,
As to each friend I roam.
Detain me but a little while,
Then send the wand'rer home.

Labor with what zeal we will,
Something still remains undone,
Something uncompleted still
Waits the rising of the sun.

And I hope it shall remain,
Until I find a worthy young man,
And then I'll change it if I can.

with which we fasten the mantle of

Oh, let my friendship in the wreathe,
Though but a bud among the flowers,

To Ella
When asked in an album to write,
I feel much inclined to refuse,
For what can my fancy indite,
That may a young lady amuse.
--
Not love, I cannot write that,
Nor romance, for my fancy is tame.
And compliments seem rather flat,
So I guess I'll write mearly my name.
