The Bard
Sincere ,natural peasant-bard
profound confessor of all human emotion
Singing his way into a nations' hearts
with his courage, self-worth and fierce independence
an exposer of corrupt effete
humbug ,cant and church ceremonial
impious hands on the ark of the covenant
suffering unbaptised children 'goin to the deil'
tender indignant
good-natured serious
wise perceiver of capricious
voguish public favour
a persecuted prophet
both feared and revered
all the world loves you
now you're safely dead
