THE POET. - ZaunköniG - 26.12.2007 THE POET. THE poet hath the child's sight in his breast, And sees all new. What oftenest he has viewed, He views with the first glory. Fair and good Pall never on him, at the fairest, best, But stand before him, holy and undressed In week-day false conventions, such as would Drag other men down from the altitude Of primal types, too early dispossessed. Why, God would tire of all His heavens as soon As thou, O godlike, childlike poet, didst, Of daily and nightly sights of sun and moon! And therefore hath He set thee in the midst, Where men may hear thy wonder's ceaseless tune. And praise His world for ever, as thou bidst. |
