I is for Implements
Free texts and images.
| I is for Implements written by William Henry Davies |
| From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925 |
What lovely dark blue flames, O Spade,
Shine in thy steel so bright:
See how the shadows smoke and play;
How thou hast laboured, year by year,
To reach this silver day.
But thou, poor shining Sword, must wait
Till sloth and idleness
Can tell the world that splendid story:
Nothing but rust, a bloodless rust,
Shall cover thee with glory.
