Wapentake Annotated

Poet! I come to touch thy lance with mine;
&nbsp Not as a knight, who on the listed field
&nbsp Of tourney touched his adversary's shield
&nbsp In token of defiance, but in sign
Of homage to the mastery, which is thine,
&nbsp In English song; nor will I keep concealed,
&nbsp And voiceless as a rivulet frost-congealed,
&nbsp My admiration for thy verse divine.
Not of the howling dervishes of song,
&nbsp Who craze the brain with their delirious dance,
&nbsp Art thou, O sweet historian of the heart!
Therefore to thee the laurel-leaves belong,
&nbsp To thee our love and our allegiance,
&nbsp For thy allegiance to the poet's art.
