THE POET AND THE GODDESS OF POETRY.

The poet's pen is the true divining rod

Which trembles towards the inner fount of feeling,

Bringing to light and use, else hid from all,

The many sweet, clear sources which we have

Of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms;

And marks the variations of all mind,

As does the needle an air-investing storm.
