Analysis of Held Pursuit
I fear the most the Lest
I consider me a poet,
Owing to naivete
after I write an artless verselet,
Rather I consider me an amateur instead.
I fear the most the Lest
I consider me physicist a great,
Owing to naivete
after I write a childlike context,
Rather I consider me a student instead.
I fear the most the Lest
I become a dilettante
Owing to have my politic bent.
When I go for any quest
I fear the most the Lest
I get bracketed.
Should thou let me execute
even a little for humanity and right,
Hey Lord; I shall count, I shall count
it my held pursuit.
