Family Poetry
Absence
With leaden foot Time creeps along
While Delia is away:
With her, not plaintive was the song,
Nor tedious was the day.
Ah, envious Pow'r! reverse my doom;
Now double thy career,
Strain ev'ry nerve, stretch ev'ry plume,
And rest them when she's here!
Richard Jago
English Cleric
1715 - 1781
