To the Sage Philosopher

[Lorenzo]

i dedicate this to the sage philosopher,



by: Edna St. Vincent Millay


The sage philosopher at night,
when other men are breathing light,
out of a troubled sleep I see
Start up in bed, holding the key!-

And wrap him in his dressing gown,
and get him up and set him down,
and write enough to ease his head,
and rub his hands, and go to bed;-
and at the window, peering through,
all this time--the Bugaboo!
