My Poet
From Poetical Works (1916): Songs of Myself
Arts & Sciences
— My poet the rose of his fancies
Wrought unwritten in verse,
And left but the lilies and pansies
To strew his early hearse.
— The master-dream of your poet
Has perished for ever then?
— What know we? Should we know it
If it were born again?
