To the Man After the Harrow

Now leave the check-reins slack,

The seed is flying far today -The seed like stars against the

Eternity of April clay.

This seed is potent as the

Of knowledge in the Hebrew Book,

So drive your horses in the

Of God the Father as a stook.

Forget the men on Brady's Hill.

Forget what Brady's boy may say.

For destiny will not

Unless you let the harrow play.

Forget the worm's opinion

Of hooves and pointed harrow-pins,

For you are driving your horses

The mist where Genesis begins.
