THE POET AND THE REST OF CREATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Up comes the sun with merry light
Last Line: For me to write of them.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets


Up comes the sun with merry light
And puts the dark to rout;
It makes a very pleasant sight
For me to write about.

The river flowing to the sea
Slips cheerily along;
It's quite the proper thing for me
To celebrate in song.

The mountains rise on either hand
Majestical to view,
And I shall find them very grand
To write a sonnet to.

The ocean stretches far and wide,
It fills a mighty cup;
Some day I surely shall decide
To write the ocean up.

The city, with its rapid stream
Of mortals gay or wan,
Will make a very jolly theme
To write an ode upon.

So many pretty things I see
Within the horizon's hem,
And all are waiting anxiously
For me to write of them.
