The heart of life is hid from him: He has no ear for overtones, No eye for blended hues or dim. Therefore he gives a name to each, Dockets our laughter and our moans, And hastens forth to judge and teach -- The heart of life is hid from him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE PERSON by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN-CHILD'S LULLABY by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A PORTRAIT by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A ROBIN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A SCHOOLGIRL SPEAKS by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A STITUATION by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A WOMAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER ABSENCES by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER AMULETS by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER |
