Poet (a quatrain)

________________________________________________
Title:     Poet (a quatrain)
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

Ever the Poet _from_ the land
Steers his bark and trims his sail;
Right out to sea his courses stand,
New worlds to find in pinnace frail.

 

POET

To clothe the fiery thought
In simple words succeeds,
For still the craft of genius is
To mask a king in weeds.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Poet
