 | The Poems of Richard Watson Gilder |  |
BARDS OF BRITAIN (1908)
The poets silent and the poets fled?Not till these two that pluck the lyre are dead!
He of the patriot heart and Milton's line,
With soaring song and melody divine;
And he who makes the old days breathe again,
Yet sings the hour that is, and hearts of living men.
