TO A.H.H. (WRITTEN IN THE FIRST LEAF OF THE SELECTION OF MY POEMS) by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU GLEANER OF THE SUNNY HOURS
Last Line: AND SHED THEM, AS I NEED, O'ER ME!
Subject(s): HALLAM, ARTHUR HENRY (1811-1833);

THOU gleaner of the sunny hours,
Harvested in the home of God,
Gild me the future summer's hours,
Revive the present ice-bound sod!

Thou gleaner from the darkest hours
Of scattered good I cannot see,
Preserve thy dear remedial powers,
And shed them, as I need, o'er me!
