Notes

  • To Duncan Menzies

    Because of hands hard-shaken
    Across the gangway-bars,
    When separate roads we've taken
    To follow separate stars -
    Because of thoughts unspoken,
    And things we've planned to do -
    Here is my friendship's token
    To one whom I've found true.
    - Q. N.
