George Crabbe Wrote Of

George Crabbe wrote of hardship and poverty and woe In the England he lived in a long time ago But perhaps his poems might be more popular today Had he looked at life in a less truthful way. George Crabbe wrote of children in dire poverty The poor sad victims of Human cruelty And the poems full of pathos and the poems full of truth Of a poet who was blessed with the great gift of ruth. He wrote of human cruelty to their own kind A God in the soul of such a person you'll find He did not write of mythological figures or monarch or squire He wrote for the poor his type I do admire. Of the poverty around him he was all too aware But poets like George Crabbe they have always been rare Though if you feel a bit down and a good laugh you do need His poems lacking in Humor are not for you to read. Of the poor souls of England George Crabbe did write His poems not hard to understand or to read or recite And though as a person and poet he was great Such poets the masses never do celebrate.
