Professor Minto

Topics: classic

Nature, that makes Professors all day long,     And, filling idle souls with idle song,     Turns out small Poets every other minute,     Made earth for men - but seldom puts men in it.     Ah, Minto, thou of that minority     Wert man of men - we had deep need of thee!     Had Heaven a deeper? Did the heavenly Chair     Of Earthly Love wait empty for thee there?     March 1, 1893.
