Autograph Album of Christiana Weller
March 1844
The Grateful Impromptu
I put in a book once, by hook or by crook,
The whole race (as I thought) of a "feller",
Who happily pleased the town's taste (much diseased),
– And the name of this person was Weller.
I find to my cost that one Weller I lost,
Cruel Destiny so to arrange it!
I love her dear name which has won me some fame,
But great Heaven how gladly I'd change it!
