HYDRO WORKS
fIRST the valley where the houses Are cherished by hedges and trees, The pastures flowing green To the river, the willows Frail against a face of rock, Nothing to threaten the eye, Sheep penned in the peace of summer, Larks with the song of cettitude, MERGING from the valley the mind Encounters like an enemy, itself, Rock-like in the cowering wilderness; The idling spirit Recoils from the resolute wall, The squat citadel spraying power, ANP the hills stand in submission And the dumb, disciplined waters, For harder than driven stone or defiant tock The hard core of the purpose and will
of man,
J. R.
