All beauty, shape and comeliness,

All valour, strength and gentleness,

All genius, wit and holiness.

Out of corruption comes the flower,

The corn is kindred with the clay;

The plough-hand is a hand of power,

Nobler than gold, brighter than day.

Then let the leper lift his head,

The cripple dance, the captive sing,

The beggar reap and eat his bread—
