a master voice! A voice of the true joy-bringers! Now will ye heed and rejoice Or pass on the other side, And wait till the singer has died, 32 A NEW POET Then weep o er his voiceless clay? Friends, beware! A keen, new sound is in the air, Know ye a poet s coming is the old world s judgment day! THE SINGER OF JOY HE sang the rose, he praised its fragrant breath; (Alas, he saw the gnawing worm beneath. ) He sang of summer and the flowing grass; (He knew that all the beauty quick would pass. ) He... said the world was good and skies were fair; (He saw far, gathering clouds, and days of care. ) Immortally he sang pure friendship s flame; (Yet had he seen it shrivel to a name. ) And, ah, he praised true love, with golden speech; (What though it was a star he could not reach. ) His songs in every soul the hero woke; (He in the shadows waited the last stroke. ) He was the singer of the joyous art; (Down to the grave he bore a broken heart. ) 33 BREAD UPON THE WATERS A MELANCHOLY, life o er-wearied man Sat in his lonely room, and, with slow breath, Counted his losses: thrice-wrecked plan on plan, Failure of friend, and hope, and heart, and faith - This last the deadliest, and holding all.
