The poet
With words, to day he brings a full and stronger light; With words, he makes us see beyond the ordinary sight. | |
With words, he shows us life is sweet; With words, he gives us drink and meat. | |
With words, he binds us hard and fast; With words, he builds a structure that will last. | |
If words were actual to sight and touch, his mind Would never hold the thousands that he knows; Yet there he easily can find A poem that lives and breathes and grows. | |
