The young poet wrote a great poem
To rejuvenate his countrymen,
All other poets praised it effusively
For its wonderful class and excellence;
But the countrymen read the poem and frowned the great poet,
As they thought it was inferior to their taste,
They kept the poem aside
And never opened it again.

I concur with the comments of the great Poetess, Valsa that Poetry is relished only by a select group. Poets belong to that minority group. An interesting poem well conveyed.
Appreciation of a poem is subjective. Unlike music not many minds could understand Poetry. An ordinary layman has a hard time understand Poetry especially if the poem has an underlying meaning or the Poet used words foreign to a reader.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Tastes differ! Even if a poem is great, it may not be appreciated as those who read it may not be of a higher level to understand it. Usually poetry is relished only by a select group! A very realistic situation is well expressed.
