POETRY by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: TRUE POETRY IS OVERFLOW
Last Line: AS SOUL THE MIND TRANSCENDS.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
True poetry is overflow,—
The outlet where the soul,
When bounds no longer can restrain,
Escapes the mind's control;
Subconscious thoughts that pass beyond
The limits that confine,
Expressed in words with mystic charm
That doth the heart entwine.

'Tis the expression of the soul
In words with music sweet
That vibrate chords within the heart
Until our spirits meet;
'Tis symphonies that rise to heights
Where earth with Heaven blends,
With passing touch of Angel's wing
As soul the mind transcends.
