MV TEACHER (With apologies to William Cowpcr ) The fourth year now is well-nigh past, Since first your sky was overcast; I know you hope that I’m the last! My teacher! Thy spirits have a fainter glow; saw thee daily weaker grow; 'Twas my own mischief brought thee low, My teacher! Thy patience, once a shining store, For me unfailing heretofore, Now worn from use, doth shine no more, My teacher! But though thou gladly wouldst fulfill The same kind office for me still, Thy strength now seconds not thy will. My teacher! But well thou playedst the teacher s part, And all thy words with magic art Have found a place within this heart, My teacher! • Literature and Ufe in Fngland, p. 361 Pane Twenty dive
