A poem by John Kendrick Bangs

The Author's Boomerang

________________________________________________
Title:     The Author's Boomerang
Author: John Kendrick Bangs [More Titles by Bangs]

HE frowns with reason; he has always said,
"The public has no knowledge of true art;
The book of worth these days would not be read;
'Tis trash not truth that goes upon the mart."

And then was published his belovéd work-
Some twenty-six editions it has had-
And he his own conclusion cannot shirk:
With such success as this it must be bad!






[The end]
