 A single song and carelessly complete. He would not bind and thrash his
 chance-grown wheat, .lA Nor bring his wild fruit to the common
 vat. To store the acid rinsings, thin and flat, Squeezed from the press or trodden ur-
 der feet. .. Fs A few slow beads, bloodred and honey
 sweet, N Oozed from the grape, which burst and
 split its fat. But time. who soonest drops the heaviest
 things That weigh his pack, will carry dia.
 monds long, So. through the poets orchestra, which

 strings Pieces the note of that imnaortal song: High over all the lonely bugie grievcs.''
