A poem in praise of the Muse, a mythological spirit of nature portrayed as a beautiful maiden and lustrous figure.
with love itself and all that’s right;
and when the Grecian gods above
unloose her from the Stygian night,
she ascends like a gentle dove
with the rays of the dayspring's light.
With golden locks, like flax most fair,
and liquid, limpid eyes so blue,
none are like her or can compare
to her likeness and lustrous hue
which give sight to the brave who dare
request to see her light anew.
Thus pre-ordained as mythic Muse
and well-revered as though a saint,
whom none can deny or refuse
or with vile words destroy or taint,
let therefore all beings freely choose
to worship her without constraint.

A Lyric for a Mythic Muse, Revisited
SHE beams with joy, like one in lovewith love itself and all that’s right;
and when the Grecian gods above
unloose her from the Stygian night,
she ascends like a gentle dove
with the rays of the dayspring's light.
With golden locks, like flax most fair,
and liquid, limpid eyes so blue,
none are like her or can compare
to her likeness and lustrous hue
which give sight to the brave who dare
request to see her light anew.
Thus pre-ordained as mythic Muse
and well-revered as though a saint,
whom none can deny or refuse
or with vile words destroy or taint,
let therefore all beings freely choose
to worship her without constraint.
