Perfect Work

Title:     Perfect Work
Author: Joseph Horatio Chant [More Titles by Chant]

An artist skilled beyond the sons of men
With pleasure scanned the pictures on the wall,
Rare works of art, each one pronounced a gem,
The product of his hand, both great and small;
Each filled its place in the designer's plan;
Conceived in full before the work began.

Pleased was the artist with results as shown;
But his ideal was not as yet attained;
It needed this, as palace needs a throne,
But _throne_ a _king_--then is perfection gained,
When his great masterpiece hangs in its place,
And the great artist looks in his own face.

[The end]
