βTo
be a poet is a condition, not a profession.β β Robert Frost |
The Song Maker I made a hundred little songs That told the joy and pain of love, And sang them blithely, tho' I knew No whit thereof. I was a weaver deaf and blind; A miracle was wrought for me, But I have lost my skill to weave Since I can see. For while I sang β ah swift and strange! Love passed and touched me on the brow, And I who made so many songs Am silent now. Poem By Sara Teasdale |
