And the angel said to the poet:
“They’ll love you not for who you are
They’ll love you for your art,
They need only the things you say
They will never need your heart;
Aye, dear poet, your life’s but
A wretched work of woe
They’ll love you only when you’re dead,
Or when you’re dying from all their sorrow.”
