For Poets
For poets
Honesty is not
Only the greater
Parent of all
The other virtues
It is the best
Of the lot
So let your pen
Not rot of falsehood.
Well do I know
That we are born to toll
The weight that
Gives man hope
And beauty wrote
In the measure
Of a poem
We ask of you
Nothing but your best
In telling the truth
To any that may come
To be by your poems wooed.
