Poem by Vachel Lindsay

The Encyclopaedia

”If I could set the moon upon
This table,” said my friend, 
”Among the standard poets 
And brouchures without end, 
And noble prints of old Japan,
How empty they would seem,
By that encyclopaedia
Of whim and glittering dream.”

1. With a Bouquet of Twelve Roses

3. Our Mother Pocahontas
4. The Firemen’s Ball
5. The Leaden-Eyed
