Appreciation

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

TO the sea-shell-s spiral round
-T is your heart that brings the sound:
The soft sea-murmurs that you hear
Within, are captured from your ear.

You do poets and their song
A grievous wrong,
If your own soul does not bring
To their high imagining
As much beauty as they sing.
