    Out of clay-
    But so bright he, he spun
    Himself to brightest day
    Till he was all shining gold,
    And oh,
    He was handsome to behold!
    But in his hands held he a bow
    Aimed at me who created
    Him. And I said,
    ‘Wouldst murder me
    ‘Who am thy fountainhead’
    Then spoke he the man of gold:
    ‘I will not
    Murder thee! I do but
    Measure thee. Hold
    Thy peace!’ And this I did,
    But I was curious
    Of this so regal head.
    ‘Give thy name! – Sir Genius’”

    You and I, this country yours and mine,
    This child dreaming on the edges of life.
