The Poet Seer
Lay motionless:
All around
People thronged
Stunned and
Drear.
One said ‘I will miss
For some time his
Great line
His rhythm and his verse
His love of Beauty and
His noble thoughts.’
Another said: ‘Of
Immortality spoke he:
Now
He lies motionless
After
Lighting the fire for humanity’
Another yet: ‘Friends let us
For another Poet Seer
Pray to match
The great verse of this one
The thoughts, discoveries,
The rest.’
Another: ‘Forward look.
Brothers and sisters pray
For him and that others
Will rise as him, as he
Has wished.’
Another: ‘ Let him live
In us; his works are writ;
Those that are writ
In hearts their residence.’
And
The Poet Seer
Lay motionless:
All around
People thronged
Stunned and
Drear.
