Analysis of The Poet's Thought
Lucy Maud Montgomery 1874 (New London, Prince Edward Island) – 1942 (Toronto)
It came to him in rainbow dreams,
Blent with the wisdom of the sages,
Of spirit and of passion born;
In words as lucent as the morn
He prisoned it, and now it gleams
A jewel shining through the ages.
