A Poet's Heart
It is uncovered, open and bare
It is made so to give, receive and care
Uncovered with self-interest, profit, caution
To care what it's set for in ardour and devotion
Open to tell us what It bears
To give Its feelings fully It dares
Bare and touchy, tender and frail
To receive to the utmost of joy and pain
Will you prefer this heart or disdain ?
