THE POET'S LOT. |

THE POET'S LOT.
The poet's lovely faith creates
The beauty he believes;
The light which on his footsteps waits,
He from himself receives.
The beauty he believes;
The light which on his footsteps waits,
He from himself receives.
His lot may be a weary lot;
His thrall a heavy thrall;
And cares and griefs the crowd know not,
His heart may know them all:
His thrall a heavy thrall;
And cares and griefs the crowd know not,
His heart may know them all:
But still he hath a mighty dower,
The loveliness that throws
Over the common thought and hour
The beauty of the rose.
The loveliness that throws
Over the common thought and hour
The beauty of the rose.
