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 thrownI hopefully trust will not long disguise The name of the kind unknown.
