Excerpt from Threads of Moss The poet, 'ere his muse begins, Like harper tries each sounding string, Till each in sweeter concord rings, 'Ere to the dainty throng he sings. Or marksman tests his pliant bow, His shaft cut from the copses low, Essays the string and proves them so To meet his rival archer foe. Or warrior knight, the fleetest steed That ever scarred the yielding mead, And so, perchance, for greater deed, Are horse and rider well agreed. Or boatman proves his bark and oar, Skims the white crests that lave the shore, Glides the deep furrow, and all before He rides the mightier waters o'er. Not so the author, all combine, The unsophisticated line, Discords perhaps without design - Blame not the bard but mend the rhyme.
