Excerpt from The Supremacy of Life: A Poem Proem O that some mighty power had touched my pen, And made its diamond point the gauge of worth, That all its words should have the perfect ring, Delightful tone, the voice of silver bells, And each with note to make exact accord, And blend in lays, so lofty, so divine, That he who reads a single verse must feel The spell of harmony so pure and sweet That, mind aflame with glowing thought, By golden fetters bound in pure delight, The soul will drink the last of all the words, And still in pose expectant wait for more: This pure ideal of poesy divine Is mine to grasp in longing thought, alone, Perchance some bard may yet be born, inspired With thoughts of purest tone, from heaven caught, And words so charged with high dynamic force That such a poem yet may bless the world.
