A test of time
A test of proof
A test to rhyme
The bitter truth

A test of lies
A test of ruse
A test of whys
And what we choose

A test of passion
A test of trust
A test of fashion
And what we must

A poet's pen
And tale in part
Are where he's been
And burdened heart

A minstrel's voice
Cries out to wrong
Within his choice
To make a song

A painter's brush
And inward vision
Give silent hush
To out* decision                                            *(outward)

In art and life
Reflection stays
Within some strife
And inward ways

Art and life are
Said to mirror
One another
As sight's clearer

But both meaning
And sound grow dimmer
When one's screening
His heart asimmer
