Your deeds will move no poet’s hand,
Your name inspire no song.

Poet Lore (1898)

“ There is a perfume everywhere,
⁠⁠A breath of song,
A sense of some divine return
⁠⁠For waiting long.
Who knows but some imprisoned joy
⁠⁠From bondage breaks:
Some exiled and enchanted hope
⁠⁠From dreams awakes?

Poet Lore (1920)

“ Perhaps we might lay some of the blame on the printer, but we know he would not set it up if we did.
⁠You see the real reason is that Poet Lore is published in New England where we wistfully expect Spring every year. Of course by this time we should know better. But just as children will insist on believing in Santa Claus, so New Englanders maintain the illusion of Spring; you simply cannot shake their faith.
