TO THE POETS.

YE who sing the maiden’s kiss,
And the silver sage’s thought,
Loveliness of inward bliss,
And the graver learning taught,
Tell me, are your skies and streams
Real, or the shape of dreams.

Many rainy days may go,
Many clouds the sun obscure,
And your verses clearer grow,
And your lovely songs more pure,
Mortals are we, but ye are
Burning keenly like a star.
