James Stephens

James Stephens was an Irish novelist and poet
In his time one lauded as worthy of literary note
One of his novels a best seller known as 'A Crock Of Gold'
In a single year thousands of copies sold

His poetry to his fans as a source of joy does remain
The humor in some of his poems infectious you read them again
Though perhaps his best known poem sad known as 'The Snare'
With the best of it's time it surely does compare

From life James Stephens passed many years ago
That his literary works remain underrated happens to be so
With words he was one of those who had a way
And his writing is popular with some today

A writer whose words could make you laugh or move you to tears
The best of his writing has outlived him by years
His literary legacy to his fans remains loved and known
And his style of writing has him in a class of his own.
