Poetic Craft
Discriminations, good or poor, made
When poets’ virtues are weighed
Separate dross from real art
And talent from mere heart.
For craft is needed too,
To strengthen the poetic brew:
Those poets who would inspire
Their readers with divine fire
Must in the end acquire
The thirst to rise higher.
