This was a Poet - It is That

This was a Poet — It is That
Distills amazing sense
From ordinary Meanings —
And Attar so immense
	 
From the familiar species
That perished by the Door —
We wonder it was not Ourselves
Arrested it — before —
	 
Of Pictures, the Discloser —
The Poet — it is He —
Entitles Us — by Contrast —
To ceaseless Poverty —
	 
Of portion — so unconscious —
The Robbing — could not harm —
Himself — to Him — a Fortune —
Exterior — to Time —
