The youthful bard. With flowing Hair,
whose life Is f fee from pain and rare,
la always singing of despair, and dead
men's bones; he likes to wail of lst
Lenores, and stranded, ships on rocky
o'er which the
March -.wind roars - and shrieks and
moans. But; when tne bard Is old and
fat, and haa no hair beneath his hat, he
cuts out all such stuff as that his
song Is gay; he finds that Chunks of
rhythmic gloom, that touch the e-rava-
yard and the tomb, th passing bell, and
death and doom, don't often pay. For
people in this world below are anxious"
to forget their woe; they'd think of
love, and fame, and dough, and things
like those; when they're in need of
extra grief they'll send away and buy
a aheaf; they'll surely never fjnd relief
In poet's throesr And ao the bard who'd,
hit the spot must dish up glad, amusing
rot, and leave the Verse with " sorrow
fraught to laureates; and If with hum- '
ble themes he 'toys, and makes an opti
mistic noise, ' and harps on jamborees
and, Joys, to fame he skates!
