The Living Song



He sang a song in master strain,
     Then cast it to the world with pride;
It caught the gaze of scholars few,
     Then passed from memory and died.

He sang another, this of love,
     A tender strain devoid of arts;
A million lovers treasure it,
     And read it daily to their hearts.

                                      Cambridge.

Feb. 11, 1900
