If there be one poet my heart entwines <br />Let me praise brave Landor’s rhymes. <br />For humor runs all through his verse, <br />And though he may not be the first <br />To feel those thoughts and put them down- <br />I like the way he turns them ‘round. <br /> <br />For when I hear him praise the dawn, <br />I know the sleepless night that brought it on. <br />And when I hear him praise old age- <br />I know the wisdom of that sage. <br />A master artist was he not, <br />Who in four short lines completes the thought? *<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-landor/
