Responsibility

by

Listen in the reader

You ploughmen at the gate, All that you are for me Is of my mind create, And in my brain to be A figure newly won From the world’s confusion.

And if you are of grace, That’s honesty for me, And if of evil face, Recorded then shall be Dishonour that I saw Not beauty, but the flaw.
