Hardy: On Becoming a Poet

Others write them; I just read them And recite them: Recite the poems that others write.

But my own I cannot fashion, Though I keep trying With a passion To write a poem that's mine.

Will I ever quit this trying? Trying, trying, Failing sighing, Trying a poet to become?

No, I'm sure I shall not quit it; I'll keep trying 'Till I get it, 'Till a poet I become.

If I keep my mind upon it, Perhaps some day I'll write a sonnet; Then all the world at last will know it, That I have become a poet.
