Ralph Waldo Emerson - The Poet
Work rating: Medium

The Poet
Ralph Waldo Emerson	

A moody child and wildly wise
Pursued the game with joyful eyes,
Which chose, like meteors, their way,
And rived the dark with private ray:
They overleapt the horizon`s edge, 
Searched with Apollo`s privilege;
Through man, and woman, and sea, and star
Saw the dance of nature forward far;
Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times
Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes.

Olympian bards who sung
   Divine ideas below,
Which always find us young,
   And always keep us so.
