ROBERTS AUTHOR OF "ORION, AND OTHER POEMS"; PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF KING'S COLLEGE, WINDSOR, N. S. To My Friend, EDMUND COLLINS. In divers tones I sing, And pray you, Friend, give ear! My medley of song I bring You, who can rightly hear. Themes gathered far and near, Thoughts from my heart that spring, In divers tones I sing, And pray you. Friend, give ear! Here's many a serious thing— You'll know if it's sincere. Where the light laughters ring You may detect a tear. In divers tones I sing, And pray you, Friend, give ear! CONTENTS.
