Lines Composed in the Muse's Absence

Poets without new rhymes
are poets without a Muse;
poets whose lines don't flow
are poets we cannot use.

Like artists who don't paint,
or minstrels who don't sing;
the world has no time or place
for poets so fruitless in the spring.

If rhymes were more plentiful
and lines were more flourishing,
the earth at this time of year
would thrive, and be more nourishing.
