Stranger knocking: hast a care

ere thou enter, o beware:

hast thou a poet's lips and tongue?

doth thou craft a song unsung?

doth thou weave tales or spin verses?

doth thou explore new universes?

doth thou imagine far-off lands?

doth magic flow from thy ink-stained hands?

doth thou create? doth thou dream

of whispering forests, murmuring streams?

if yea, then enter, if thou dare

if nay, o stranger fair, beware
