Dedicated,
WITH THE WARMEST OF GOOD WISHES,
TO
MR AND MRS MICHAEL GUNN,
IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
MANY ACTS OF KINDNESS SHOWN TO MY CHILDREN
AND MYSELF.

‘Oh! human Heart, which thus art strong,
To love, to dare, to suffer wrong,
I will not doubt thee, though I see
Thy wickedness continually:
Nor fail to trust thy holier part,
Darkened and fallen as thou art;
But by thy faith—thy love—thy light,
Thy secret longings infinite,
Still trust in God that thou shalt win
Forgiveness for thy host of sin.’
