Poem to Margaret
Be good, be good, be always good,
And now and then be clever,
But don't you ever be too good,
Nor ever be too clever;
For each as be too awful good
The awful lonely are,
And such as often clever be
Get cut and stung and trodden on by persons of lesser mental capacity ... [for several more lines, ending with the note:] (It is best not to go on; I think the line is already longer than it ought to be for true poetry.)
