..... On Poetry

Such princely and linguistic feats
As penned by Shelley, Byron, Keats
Though rich and eloquently grand
Are oft` too deep to understand

Their thoughts, expressed through poetry
In prose, or perfect symmetry
Bewilder yet this humble mind
Their meaning, hidden, still to find

So if ungilded words convey
Each message that they would portray,
Then simple verses should reveal
The inspiration that I feel

And thus may every scholar read
Between each line, their  hearts to feed
Unfolding there in simple style
This heart`s endeavour to beguile
