Poems (Griffin)/On the Receipt of a Present

​
ON THE RECEIPT OF A PRESENT.
I RECEIVED a beautiful gift, to-day;
 From an unknown source it came;
And return my thanks, in this simple lay,
 To the donor for the same.

The beautiful tribute I fondly prize;
 And the mystery round it thrown
I hopefully trust will not long disguise
 The name of the kind unknown.
