      You ask me , in what happy ground The poet ' s garden may be found , Witli dazzle In gaye of e s t liv nnial ' dr bloo ess m 'd , And heavy with p the rich perfume , Of Araby the blest ?

      Think not the Bard with blossoms bright Can stay For his heave flowers n- of born nobler appetite birth , The soul athirst for greater things , ; Can find From no joy cold in th material at which e springs arth . The higher craving of his kind ,

      Choice Flora of a brother ' s mind Where , wet To gather th fancy in his ' s de sport w-drop , , peer The leaflets In unmown of a stray fields idea , of Thought . To slyly pluck with furtive care The buds Wherever of genius h h e ere m find there it ,

      And reaping where he has ay not sow ; n Call the choice bouquet all his own , Who found the thread to bind it . And , Wending with harmonious skill , The chosen To flow saunter ' rets at and his w down ill , While While wreaths wreaths of of stolen stolen up blossoms blossoms , , ti tied ed

      Around his His temp baldness les , ser with ve to a hide crown , . B So y when Wit and we Fancy find our read search y-made repaid , The workers What of need our age of useless profess pains ? The noblest watchword of success Is—Scissors versus Brains !
