New old Masters

When I was very tired

After much long reading

Of today’s leading works

I sought the refreshment I need then

With a number of old friends

There was Emily, Robert and Rod

Longfellow and Wentworth too

Telling words so sweet and dear

These are the ones I love to hear

Gentle lines of simple words

Clean clear visions in my head

Tales that everyone knows

And I wonder where are they

To lift the torch and let it shine

New masters to stand with old

New tales that everyone will know

Long have I read word of many

Looking for some bright new friends

To stand tall with my friends of old
