Companion! By Whose Buoyant Spirit Cheered, In Whose Experience Trusting, Day By Day Treasures I Gained With Zeal That Neither Feared The Toils Nor Felt The Crosses Of The Way, These Records Take, And Happy Should I Be Were But The Gift A Meet Return To Thee For Kindnesses That Never Ceased To Flow, And Prompt Self-Sacrifice To Which I Owe Far More Than Any Heart But Mine Can Know. W. Wordsworth. Rydal Mount, Feb. 14Th, 1842.
