The Revelation
An idle poet, here and there,
Looks 'round him;but for all the rest.
The world, unfathomably fair,
Is duller than a witling's jest.
Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
They lift their heavy lids and look;
And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
They read with joy, then shut the book.
And some give thanks, and some blaspheme
And most forget;but either way,
That and the child' unheeded dream
Is the light of all their day.
Looks 'round him;but for all the rest.
The world, unfathomably fair,
Is duller than a witling's jest.
Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
They lift their heavy lids and look;
And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
They read with joy, then shut the book.
And some give thanks, and some blaspheme
And most forget;but either way,
That and the child' unheeded dream
Is the light of all their day.
