Now leave the check-reins slack,

Of knowledge in the Hebrew Book,

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.
