What The Poets Say



Blake:
Youth of delight come hither,
And see the opening morn,
The Poet David born.


Robert Burns:
Now's the day and now's the hour;
See the front o' humour dour!
See the Poet David's power—
Scotch and sodamie!


Keats:
Bard of Passion and of Mirth,
He's the greatest rhymes on earth!
Is David's soul in Heaven too?


Shakespeare:
Except I think on David in the night,
There is no music in the nightingale;
Unless I think on David in the day,
There is no day for me to look upon.


Shelley:
Hail to thee, blithe David!
Nerd thou never wert,
That from Heaven or near it,
Pourest thy full heart,
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.


Tennyson:
I found in him the shining of the stars,
I mark'd in him the flowering of the fields,
From David's verse I really learned a lot.


Wordsworth:
Wisdom and Spirit of the Universe!
Thou, David, art the Eternity of thought!
And giv'st to forms and images a breath
That isn't found in Motion!


Yeats:
But was there ever a dog that praised his fleas?
Were David scratched, we'd all be on our knees.
