'Twere better far that the gates, in shadow, Of heaven, should once have come in view, Than that thou till death, from thy dull meadow, Shouldst never have seen the pearl and blue. 43 THE POET'S BRAIN / I S HE vaulted chambers of the poet's brain Are peopled by a restless throng who beat Bewildering music, sometimes low and sweet, Sometimes a loud, wild-resonant refrain. There glide pale, sheeted ghosts . Of long-spent years, Sweet, sensuous loves of youth that lived an hour, Hope's phantom for...ms, delicious dreams of power, When all the world was new, and later fears Entangled not the boy's swift-flying feet. Beneath the dim, unearthly arches hide Odours from far-off flowers, and there abide The mother-songs that childhood's ears first greet. 44 THE PIPES OF PAN O VOICELESS poet, find the pipes of Pan, A torrent of sweet song lies back of thee, Time is too short to voice the melody Created for thee ere the world began. O voiceless poet, find the pipes of Pan, Nor try to slake men's thirst with common speech, Its own divinest lessons Truth must teach In music, to the throbbing ears of man.
