A YOUNG POET
I SEE him in the morning flush,No outlook dark, no prospect dim,And wonder what the twilight hushWill bring to him.
Ideals burn along his wayAs burned the Alexandrian flameWhen wanderers of an elder dayTo Egypt came.
Hopes are like vernal violets now,Yea, like the golden daffodil!He dreams not of the barren bough,The silent rill.
The path is vague, the path is long,And at the end the severed chord!Yet the true devotee finds songIts own reward!
