Longfellow

Prune word and line to fix fine verse, Opt for good feel where reason rhymes; Express thought fine as you observe, Tint form and will all in good time. Loiter with proof where practice lifts, Outline the good where passion hurls; Nurture the truth that frees bold gifts, Grace cites fine moods where words can curl; Feel follows fling as echoes come, Extract pure voice in words that tell; Live lofty spring where wit can sum, Listen with poise as wise worth dwells; Open to flow in feel sublime, Works script a show in simple chimes.
