I was told there would be no Dylan, poetry
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still nightWhen only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most milk fed heart.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the morons, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft as art
