Song’s Eternity
From Lincoln & Other Poems (1901)
Social Commentaries
Into the song of the Poet are builded the things that endure:
The Pillars of Karnak will crumble but the song of Shelley is sure.
It will hold through the ages of ages, like the heavens steadied in air:
The hoofs that trample the kingdoms down that miracle must spare.
