Excerpt from The Tenth Muse, and Other Poems In stately classic time Who built the lofty rhyme - While yet his hand wandered along the lyre, While the loud prelude lingered, And each quick string he fingered, Not finding fitting outburst of his fire - Then would he raise First notes of prayer and praise To those great daughters of Mnemosyne - The high immortal Nine - And, swift! the whispered line Leapt to his lip, - commanding, sounding, free.
