Lucy Maud Montgomery - Genius
Work rating: Low

A hundred generations have gone into its making,
  With all their love and tenderness, with all their dreams and tears;
Their vanished joy and pleasure, their pain and their heart-breaking,
  Have colored this rare blossom of the long-unfruitful years. 

Their victory and their laughter for this have strong men given,
  For this have sweet, dead women paid in patience which survives­
That a great soul might bring the world, as from the gate of heaven,
  All that was rich and beautiful in those forgotten lives.
