In my craft or sullen art - a photo on Flickriver

            In my craft or sullen art 
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their grieves in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charmes
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most sacred heart.

Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the grieves of the ages
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.

Dylan Thomas
