Can this be my poem this poor fragment	A
Of bald thought in meanest language dressed	B
Can this string of rhymes be my sweet poem	C
All its poetry wholly unexpressed	B
	-
Does it tell me of the dreams that wandered	B
In the silent night time through my brain	D
Of the woven web of wondrous fancies	E
Half of keenest joy and half of pain	D
	-
Does it tell me of the awful beauty	B
That came down to hide this sordid earth	F
Does it tell me of the inward crying	G
Of the glory whence it had its birth	F
	-
Only as the lamp all dull and rusted	B
Tells me of the flame that is put out	B
Of the shiny hair and happy faces	H
Lighted when its radiance streamed about	B
	-
Only as this piece of glass now lying	G
In the shade beside me as I sit	B
Tells me of the soft hues of the rainbow	I
That the morning sunshine gave to it	B
	-
Only as this little flask now smelling	G
Of the dust and mould with which 'tis lined	B
Tells me of the lovely subtle fragrance	J
Of the perfume that it once enshrined	B
	-
Only as a picture blurred and faded	B
Tells me of the bloom of colour there	K
When the painter's soul was with his canvas	L
And his paint was bright and fresh and fair	K
	-
Only as the wires and keys notes broken	M
Odd and scattered tell me of a strain	D
That once filled my very soul with rapture	N
But can never be spelled out again	O
Only as a bare brown flower stalk tells me	B
Of the delicate blossom that it wore	P
Of the humming bees in silken petals	Q
And the downy butterflies it bore	P
	-
Only as a crazy boat sun blistered	B
Drawn up high and dry upon the sands	R
Tells me of the blue and buoyant billows	S
Bearing breezy sails to foreign lands	R
	-
Only as a little dead lark lying	G
With bedraggled wings and withered throat	B
Tells me of the songs it heard in heaven	M
Trying to teach me here and there a note	B
	-
Oh no oh no this is not my treasure	N
This is but the shell where it has lain	D
It is gone the life and light and glory	B
And 'twill never come to me again	O
