To Grant B. Schley
Dear and great Friend! In Katrine’s fancied “Land”
You long have held your own much-honored place—
Have met great Esmond; held kind Newcome’s hand;
And talked with merry Alan face to face;
For there, where Loyalty was word of countersign,
You entered, all unchallenged, for the land was thine!
E.M.L.
