[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
[Doth Music tickle ear, and that's the whole?]
[Out of this hard and thin life]
[How should Oratory give]
[With pen and with pencil we're learning to say]
[Painters, Composers, can make use no doubt]
[How rotten the Art is that works for display!]
[Artist, your business is with surface: true.]

Blackberries
[How argue from effects? Whate'er you do]
How
argue from effects? Whate'er you do,
Least part of its effect comes into view.
Who simply acts from conscience pure and true,
Finds nothing in the consequence to rue.
