Professor Minto

Title:     Professor Minto
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

Nature, that makes Professors all day long,
And, filling idle souls with idle song,
Turns out small Poets every other minute,
Made earth for men--but seldom puts men in it.

Ah, Minto, thou of that minority
Wert man of men--we had deep need of thee!
Had Heaven a deeper? Did the heavenly Chair
Of Earthly Love wait empty for thee there?

_March_ 1, 1893.
