TO WHOM PRAISE IS DUE
HAT Ayrshire ploughman found What Calvin’s crystal hidGod’s word common as daylight A rumour in the blood; The crimson stubble flower The mouse torn by the share ANP upright Cook sailing The cold sea of his mind Guessed what wind blows Perpetual, unconfined; The needle of iron truth Fixed on an unknown north. EIR HARDIE shaggy-browed In an angry House, wore The same cloth cap a miner’s Lad paid five shillings for. He knew well the gold That’s never bought or sold. [HE man whose blood hammers In the ram of my heart, Admiring these, tound Truth not told in the mart, In cloven wood shown And the litted stone.
