LIFE AND SONG If life wera caught by a And a wild heart throbbing In the reed Should thrill Its joy and thrill its fret tret And utter its heart in every deed Then Th n would this breathing Type what the poet fain would be For none of the singers ever yet et Has wholly lived his minstrelsy Or clearly sung his true true thought Or utterly bodied forth his life Or out of life and song has wrought wro ht That perfect one of man and wife Or lived and sung that Life Lite and Song Might each express the tho others all Careless C If U life or art were long lone Since both were one ne to stand or fall So that the wonder struck the crowd Who shouted about the land His song was only living aloud His Ills work a singing with his hand handl Sidney Sl e Lanier
