My Niece, I dedicate to thee
This simple and unfinished lay;
Remember then thy promise free
To come upon that solemn day,

When earthly ties let go their hold
And those so deeply, fondly [loved deleted] dear
My arms may never more enfold
[crossed out: All! all! from earthly sight removed!]
Now my sight greet them longer here!

I began to write a verse for thee dear Eliza,
[crossed out: and] at thy request, [crossed out: and] but it remains inadequate
in expression and ought to be more worthy of four
score years. "Such as I have, give I unto thee"
I do not feel as if I could copy the poor thing!
