I saw rain falling and the rainbow drawn On Lammermuir.Hearkening I heard again In my precipitous city beaten bells Winnow the keen sea wind.And here afar, Intent on my own race and place, I wrote.
Take thou the writing: thine it is.For who Burnished the sword, blew on the drowsy coal, Held still the target higher, chary of praise And prodigal of counsel - who but thou?
So now, in the end, if this the least be good, If any deed be done, if any fire Burn in the imperfect page, the praise be thine.
