<l> THE POET </l>
<l> ------ </l>
<l> A moody child and wildly wise </l>
<l> Pursued the game with joyful eyes, </l>
<l> Which chose, like meteors, their way, </l>
<l> And rived the dark with private ray: </l>
<l> They overleapt the horizon's edge, </l>
<l> Searched with Apollo's privilege; </l>
<l> Through man, and woman, and sea, and star, </l>
<l> Saw the dance of nature forward far; </l>
<l> Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times, </l>
<l> Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes. </l>
