I was a Phebe－nothing more－1
A Phebe－nothing less－
The little note that others dropt
I fitted into place－
I dwelt too low that any seek－5
Too shy, that any blame－
A Phebe makes a little print
Upon the Floors of Fame－
A Phebe－nothing less－
The little note that others dropt
I fitted into place－
I dwelt too low that any seek－5
Too shy, that any blame－
A Phebe makes a little print
Upon the Floors of Fame－
