Présentation de l'éditeur
It is the poets part The stormy soul to calm, To brighten up the suffering heart With what is known as balm ;T obid men shun the base, To execrate the low, A nd, broadly, teach the human race To give the Good a show. Thus, from his purer height, With deep and subtle lore He brings them nearer to the light (A long chalk) than before. That is the poets use: That is his task and Ive A notion its his one excuse For being left alive. But, if in all these lays There lives one song to set The feet of man in loftier ways, I havent found it yet; If they contain one thought Of solace or rebuke, One moral lesson, nobly taught, It got there by a fluke.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of verses that explore a multitude of themes from the lighthearted to the profound.
