Poet Analysis

First Line: KEEP BACK THE ONE WORD MORE
Last Line: LACKING THAT WORD, YOU SHALL BE POOR INDEED.
Subject(s): LANGUAGE; WORDS; VOCABULARY;
KEEP back the one word more,
Nor give of your whole store;
For, it may be, in Art's sole hour of need,
Lacking that word, you shall be poor indeed.
