When the Full-Grown Poet Came.

WHEN THE FULL-GROWN POET CAME.

WHEN the full-grown poet came, Out spake pleased Nature (the round impassive globe, with all  
 its shows of day and night,) saying, He is mine;
But out spake too the Soul of man, proud, jealous and unrec- 
 onciled, Nay, he is mine alone;
—Then the full-grown poet stood between the two, and took  
 each by the hand;
And to-day and ever so stands, as blender, uniter, tightly hold- 
 ing hands,
Which he will never release until he reconciles the two, And wholly and joyously blends them.
