Awake, ill limb! that served me wrong
Awake! and set thy hand to song.
Bring not thy feeble pipings here,
Instead write songs of joyous cheer.
The sky grew dark -- the limb did wail,
"I have not mind to tell the tale!"
The sky grew light -- the limb did sigh,
And write another, by and by.
So what am I, but such a limb,
Still writing, while my light grows dim?
If I must write, and serve my Art,
Then write I Love with all my heart.
