Make me a poem of sweet words
That dart and flash like mating birds
When rising sap of early spring
Sets all the leaves to gossiping;

Make me a poem whose grand lines
Shall catch the tune of wind-swept pines,
Or some deep note that satisfies
When thunder rolls across the skies;

Make me a poem, beauty-wrought,
In whose silk snare a truth is caught,
Decked out at last to catch our eyes
Like some bright bird of paradise;

Make me a poem that shall raise
My questing soul to nobler ways,
And call me with its trumpet tone
To higher paths than I have known.
