Poetic View

Texte: The poets were good teachers, for they taught Earth had this joy; but that 'twould ever be That fortune should be perfected in me, My heart of hope dared not engage the thought Robert Seymour Bridges The poets were good teachers, for they taught Of visions unseen by the human eye Of beauty seen beyond a simple sigh The poets were good teachers, for they taught Earth had this joy; but that 'twould ever be A gift from nature’s soul for all to share Of perfection found in all that’s out there Earth had this joy; but that 'twould ever be That fortune should be perfected in me Even a man with an imperfect heart Is perfected when seeing nature’s art That fortune should be perfected in me My heart of hope dared not engage the thought Yet still I look with a poetic view To a world that is always fresh and new My heart of hope dared not engage the thought © JG Farmer 2017 Form: Glosa
