What inspiration Does

So oft they pass them by:
And some have found new things to

New splendors in the sky
pull the veil from Mystery,
And show her cynic's smile
Men look foolish look. and feel
They knew her all the while
give youth the power to tell
Old lore that is like new;
The wise men wag their heads and

And know his words are true
\ beggar played his violin
Where wind folk sob and sing;
whispered to his heart, and now
He plays before the king.
The crowd saw but the parts Of steel
Piled high before their eyes.

He saw his tower rise
am guest that comes and goes.
Not lured by throne or mart;

Or else | break his heart.
