Lines Composed in the Muse's Absence
Poets without new rhymesare poets without a Muse;
poets whose lines don't flow
are poets we cannot use.
Like artists who don't paint,
or minstrels who don't sing;
the world has no time or place
for poets so fruitless in the spring.
If rhymes were more plentiful
and lines were more flourishing,
the earth at this time of year
would thrive, and be more nourishing.
