Explore "As we Read Burns" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Who is speaking? Who has spoken? / Whose voice ceasing thus has broken / The sweet pathos of our dreams? / Sweetest bard of sweetest themes, / Pouring in each poet-heart / Some rare essence of your art / Till it seems your singing lip / Kisses every pencil tip! / Far across the unknown lands -- / Reach of heavenly isle and sea -- / How we long to touch the hands / You outhold so lovingly!
