MAGAZINE POETRY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Where waves a line of larger growth
Last Line: Nor cared a filbert.
Subject(s): Magazines; Poetry & Poets


Where waves a line of larger growth, --
Subsidiary bluet, --
There shines the spirit of an oath,
And scarce would rue it.

For high is hope and lost is low,
And swift commotion
Is buried vastly in the slow
Remorseless ocean.

Intent upon the bourgeoning bough --
Ecstatic moment! --
How heed the Everlasting Now?
How reck the comment?

So self-involved and intricate
Beyond all seeming,
We pass to capture and narrate
Anacreon's dreaming.

Inveterate line of larger growth!
Alas, Lord Gilbert!
I knew no spirit of an oath,
Nor cared a filbert.
