THE SINGLE MINDED POET

Burn TO be great
Pay not thy praise to lofty things
alone
The plains are everlasting as the
hills:
The bard cannot have two pur-
suits Ausht else
Comes on the mind with the like
shock as though
Two worlds had gone to war and
met in air.
And low that thou hast heard
thus much from one
Not wont TO seek nor give nor
take advice.
Remember, whatsoe'er thou art
as man.
Suffer the world, entreat it and
forgive.
They who forgive most shall be
most forgiven.
Bailey.
