James Whitcomb Riley - Robert Burns WilsonJames Whitcomb Riley - Robert Burns Wilson
Work rating: Low


What intuition named thee?--Through what thrill   Of the awed soul came the command divine   Into the mother-heart, foretelling thine   Should palpitate with his whose raptures will   Sing on while daisies bloom and lavrocks trill   Their undulating ways up through the fine   Fair mists of heavenly reaches?  Thy pure line   Falls as the dew of anthems, quiring still   The sweeter since the Scottish singer raised   His voice therein, and, quit of every stress   Of earthly ache and longing and despair,   Knew certainly each simple thing he praised   Was no less worthy, for its lowliness,   Than any joy of all the glory There.
