Alternate Author Name(s): Watson, John William
Variant Title(s): To A Great Poet Of A Past Era
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets
POET, thy strain, an Alpine cataract, leaps
From so remote and superhuman steeps,
It never finds the valley, but midway
Hangs beautifully lost upon the day;
In iridescence lost, in vapour spent,
Yet made immortal in evanishment.
