TELL me, what is a poet's thought? Is it on the sudden born? Is it from the starlight caught? Is it by the tempest taught, Or by whispering morn? Was it cradled in the brain? Chain'd awhile, or nurs'd in night? Was it wrought with toil and pain? Did it bloom and fade again, Ere it burst to light? No more question of its birth: Rather love its better part! 'T is a thing of sky and earth, Gathering all its golden worth From the Poet's heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
