Heard Melodies Are Sweet, But

Load Every Rift With Ore.

Here Are Sweet Peas, On Tiptoe For A Flight; With Wings Of Gentle Flush O'er Delicate White, And Taper Fingers Catching At All Things, To Bind Them All About With Tiny Rings.

Feeling Well That Breathed Words Would All Be Lost, Unheard, And Vain As Swords Against The Enchased Crocodile, Or Leaps Of Grasshoppers Against The Sun.

I Would Sooner Fail Than Not Be Among The Greatest.

To Silence Gossip, Don't Repeat It.
