An Unanswered Question.

What is the literature that lives?
Is polished pen-stroke it:
And does the file
Put tear or smile
In pathos or in wit?
What is the literature that lives?
Is it the special style,
That magazines -,.~...-s
Run through their screens,
Which stay to afterwhile?
What is the literature that lives?
The pale, aenamic kind,
Where culture gives
The touch that lives
And heart is lost in mind?
What is the literature that lives?
Are made-to-order things
The mobiles thought
That pen has wrought
The songs a poet sings?
What is the literature that lives?
The red blood of the heart
That colors true
The work they do?
Or Is it cultured Art?
What is the literature that lives?
Is it what writers feel
In their own words,
AS songs of birds,
What noblest they reveal?
What is the literature that ives:
Matter or manner, when
The writer leads
To highest deeds
In conquest of the pen?
