THREE QUATRAINS: 1 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS LONG AS FAME'S IMPERIOUS MUSIC RINGS
Last Line: AS LONG AS GLORY WEIGHS ITSELF IN DUST.
As long as Fame's imperious music rings
Will poets mock it with crowned words august;
And haggard men will clamber to be kings
As long as Glory weighs itself in dust.
