And the best servant does his
~ work unseen.
Who found the seeds of FIRE and
made them shoot.
Fed by his breath, In buds and flowers Of

Who forged in roaring flames the pom

And shaped the nodded metal to his need :?

And tanned tho steed that whirls its cir

All these have left their work and not
