DIDACTIC POET
Poet! you do your genius wrong
By always reaching
For some deep lesson, spoil your song
By too much teaching.
By always reaching
For some deep lesson, spoil your song
By too much teaching.
Let brighter beauty, rising love,
Just hint your moral,
As whitening surges break above
The reef of coral.
Just hint your moral,
As whitening surges break above
The reef of coral.
