The Day-Labourer

Time is a labourer on God’s farm,And keeps His living things from harm.He sees the fledglings on the boughAnd wards the serpent from their nest;He leads the Unicorn to plow,At evening brings him home to rest:The eternal Phoenix on his armRoosts, rustling the warm feathers of her breast.
