Edwin Arlington Robinson - Caput Mortuum
Work rating: Low

Not even if with a wizard force I might  
Have summoned whomsoever I would name,  
Should anyone else have come than he who came,  
Uncalled, to share with me my fire that night;  
For though I should have said that all was right,
Or right enough, nothing had been the same  
As when I found him there before the flame,  
Always a welcome and a useful sight.  
  
Unfailing and exuberant all the time,  
Having no gold he paid with golden rhyme,
Of older coinage than his old defeat, 
A debt that like himself was obsolete  
In Art’s long hazard, where no man may choose  
Whether he play to win or toil to lose.
