Her Name

Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

WELL I remember how you smiled

To see me write your name upon

The soft sea-sand … ‘O, what a child!

You think you’re writing upon stone!’

I have since written what no tide

Shall ever wash away; what men

Unborn shall read o’er ocean wide

And find Ianthe’s name again.
