To Margaret

By Leigh Gordon Giltner

Maiden of varying mood,

Thalia thou hast wooed,

Thespis thereafter,

Till‘ neath thy lyric sway

Each heart must tribute pay —

Tears blent with laughter.

So in the days to be

This do we crave for thee,

Through life's hereafter,

Throughout the changing years,

May all thy griefs and tears

Be blent with laughter.
