 | My Lyrical Life |  |
A FORERUNNER.
“
Before
his time by a Century?
What an abortion he must be!”
So, naturally misconceived,
He lived unwelcomed, died ungrieved.
What an abortion he must be!”
So, naturally misconceived,
He lived unwelcomed, died ungrieved.
107
After long years the world turned round
To read his work who had gone uncrowned;
Their loss they now commemorate,
And doubly mourn their own sad fate!
To read his work who had gone uncrowned;
Their loss they now commemorate,
And doubly mourn their own sad fate!
When present, men forgot to trace
The message for them in his face;
When passed, they turn, and, with their looks
Adore the back side of his Books.
The message for them in his face;
When passed, they turn, and, with their looks
Adore the back side of his Books.
