Angels in Disguise

One day, upon some sweet, spring morning

The reign will end without a warning

Of critics and their scornful scheming,

Who damned to dust our days of dreaming;

They\'ll eat each worthless, weightless word

Portraying poets as absurd.

 

One day, these poets, with their verses,

Will rise and rule, and all those curses

These critics cast like stones so savage

Upon their rhymes they hoped to ravage

Will fall on them like Wailing Wall

And make these callous critics crawl.

 

One day, upon some bright tomorrow,

When sun has set on all their sorrow

The eyes of poets: wise from weeping

Will see, while savage city\'s sleeping

A new metropolis arise

For poets - angels in disguise!
