Página 257 - As come the white sails of ships O'er the ocean's verge ; As comes the smile to the lips, The foam to the surge ; So come to the Poet his songs. All hitherward blown From the misty realm, that belongs To the vast Unknown. His, and not his, are the lays He sings ; and their fame Is his, and not his; and the praise And the pride of a name.
