“Where’s the Poet? Show Him! Show Him” + 

Where’s the Poet? Show him! show him, + 

Muses nine! that I may know him! + 

’Tis the man who with a man + 

Is an equal, be he King, + 

Or poorest of the beggar-clan, + 

Or any other wondrous thing + 

A man may be ’twixt ape and Plato; + 

’Tis the man who with a bird, + 

Wren, or Eagle, finds his way to + 

All its instincts; he hath heard + 

The Lion’s roaring, and can tell + 

What his horny throat expresseth, + 

And to him the Tiger’s yell + 

Comes articulate and presseth + 

On his ear like mother-tongue. + 
