The old, the sad, the learned, <br />The saint and the romantic <br />All attribute to their muse <br />The power of gratification, <br />The only difference being <br />The type of tribute <br />each pays <br />On seeing how good she is <br />At her usual occupation; <br />The tribute of honour, laughter, <br />Acceptance, resignation, <br />Or more fantastic assignation.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-xvii-windsock/
