A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Madge Morris Wagner

If she’ll left him be her teacher
  In the mysteries of life,
In the spirit’s grand unfoldment
  Far beyond this world of strife,

A sacred altar he will build her,
  And dedicate to friendship true,
And this shall be their bond of union,
  More constant that all others knew.
                                          SANSON.
