THE POET'S SECRET
Their lips and eyes may make me wise,
But what I seek for is not there.
But what I seek for is not there.
In vain I watch the day and night,
In vain the world through space may roll;
I never see the mystic light
Which fills the poet's happy soul.
In vain the world through space may roll;
I never see the mystic light
Which fills the poet's happy soul.
Through life I hear the rhythmic flow
Whose meaning into song must turn;
Revealing all he longs to know,
The secret each alone must learn.
Whose meaning into song must turn;
Revealing all he longs to know,
The secret each alone must learn.
