Allusion
Can you know peace
In certain plight?
Fear contains ease
In poignant fright.
Here with a hint
As foibles tease,
Bloom in bright tints
Sketch ample ease.
Know in a gist
A certain flair,
Grow a fond list
With lavish airs.
Now learn to see
How truth turns out,
Just what will be
Need never shout.
Can you thus tell
What sorrow crafts?
Cheer breaks the spell
That failure drafts.
Start with your heart
To know the truth,
Sculpt your true art
As act funds proof.
