No Through RoadAll in vain, I will cease nowMy long absorption with the plough,With the tame and the wild creaturesAnd man united with the earth.I have failed after many seasonsTo bring truth to birth,And nature's simple equationsIn the mind's precincts do not apply.But where to turn? Earth enduresAfter the passing, necessary shameOf winter, and the old lieOf green places beckons me stillFrom the new world, ugly and evil,That men pry for in truth's name.
