    Poem Commentary

    My attempt at writing in old english. "'pared" as short for "compared". Sprite is an old english word for Spirit. Ask any questions and i'll explain

    To Thy Good Lord Raven
    My Mina, my thorn

    Seductive are your eyes

     My dark knight, my storm

     For whence the fire flies.

     Thy Raven, he soars

     Above the cloudy sky.

     Dark angel you are

     Sprite unto my death.

     ‘Tis pride that dost hold you

     Feet planted to soil

     Roots spread unto me

     Trees do toss and toil

     Consumption to your own.

     Ne’er do I pray you

     Free me from thy fear

     From where the light doth show.

     Yet, the beauty you hold

     Shall scorn foreign mind.

     Has thy beloved told,

     Proclaim love to lie?

     My love, no longer fear

     Compare passion to art

     These words do I hold dear

     Your hands to my heart.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
