THE LYRICS POET'S APOLOGY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I strive to probe to other hearts, and find
Last Line: In syllables of self, and can no other way.
Subject(s): Hearts; Life; Nature; Poetry & Poets


I STRIVE to probe to other hearts, and find
I do but fret the phantom of mine own;
I strain to paint great Nature, and my mind
But images itself in every zone.
The lesson learned, I sing Life's woven lay
In syllables of Self, and can no other way.
