RESPONSIBILITY

John Drinkwater

You ploughmen at the gate, All that you are for me Is of my mind create, And in my brain to be

A figure newly won From the world’ s confusion. And if you are of grace, That’ s honesty for me,

And if of evil face, Recorded then shall be Dishonour that I saw Not beauty, but the flaw.
