Anne C. Lynch  

 
        TO A POET'S WIFE.
 
        She, who in lonely pride may wear
            The laurel on her brow,
        And sit beneath its chilling shade,
            Is far less blest than thou.
 
        A higher happiness is thine,
            To hear the voice of Fame
        Re-echo in her silver tones,
            The one beloved name.
