Earth, sweet Earth, sweet landscape, with leavés throng br And louchéd low grass, heaven that dost appeal br To, with no tongue to plead, no heart to feel; br That canst but only be, but dost that long— br br Thou canst but be, but that thou well dost; strong br Thy plea with him who dealt, nay does now deal, br Thy lovely dale down thus and thus bids reel br Thy river, and o’er gives all to rack or wrong. br br And what is Earth’s eye, tongue, or heart else, where br Else, but in dear and dogged man?—Ah, the heir br To his own selfbent so bound, so tied to his turn, br To thriftless reave both our rich round world bare br And none reck of world after, this bids wear br Earth brows of such care, care and dear concern.
