JOHN JAMES PIATT American poet (1835 - 1917) The eagle nestles near the sun;   The dove's low nest for me!--     The eagle's on the crag; sweet one,       The dove's in our green tree!         For hearts that beat like thine and mine           Heaven blesses humble earth;--             The angels of our Heaven shall shine               The angels of our Heart!       - A Song of Content [Contentment] To the quick brow Fame grudges her best wreath   While the quick heart to enjoy it throbs beneath:     On the dead forehead's sculptured marble shown,       Lo, her choice of crown--its flowers are also stone.       - The Guerdon [Fame] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
