A poet brave are we,
We kill the dragons,
We fight the men,
And we do it all with inkey pen.
A poet brave are we.A poet brave are we.
We hoist up the sail,
We launch the sun,
Kill adjectives with our graphite gun.
A poet brave are we.
A poet brave are we.
We strike the fires,
Uncover the light,
And give good cause for men to fight.
A poet brave are we.
A poet brave are we.
‘Till, before the god,
The publisher we
Present our leaf on bended knee.
A poet brave are we. ©R. Bartly Betts, 2001 |
