The Muse calls to sound its claim
Beauty and Truth the poet to name
A blessed grace be it known, be it heard
'Tis the poet's tidings in heartfelt word
A song of spirit the heart to sing in praise
The delight of sensibilities and passion filled days
Beyond perceptions there BE a knowing real
From where LOVE and HEART have no conceal.
