For if in careless summer days In groves of Ashtaroth we whored, Repentant now, when
winds blow cold, We kneel before our rightful lord;
The lord of all, the money-god, Who rules us blood and hand and brain, Who gives the
roof that stops the wind, And, giving, takes away again;
Who spies with jealous, watchful care, Our thoughts, our dreams, our secret ways, Who
picks our words and cuts our clothes, And maps the pattern of our days;
Who chills our anger, curbs our hope, And buys our lives and pays with toys, Who claims
as tribute broken faith, Accepted insults, muted joys;
Who binds with chains the
poet’s
wit, The navvy’s strength, the soldier’s pride, And lays
the sleek, estranging shield Between the lover and his bride.
