To My Friends

To My Friends - meaning Summary

Songs of Neglected Ties

The speaker presents a short, candid address to friends and occasional foes, admitting neglect while offering these verses as both apology and confession. The poems mentioned are partly rejected compositions and partly heartfelt pieces, suggesting a mingling of imperfect craft and sincere feeling. The closing signature creates an intimate, direct tone, framing the work as a personal communication meant to mend or explain relationships rather than as grand literary statement.

These are songs of the Friends I neglected And the Foes, too, in part; These are songs that were mostly rejected And songs from my heart. Yours truly.
