Save God who only knows the thing he made,

The veritable service he exacts?

It is the outward product men appraise.

Behold, an engine hoists a tower aloft:

'I looked that it should move the mountain too!'

Or else 'Had just a turret toppled down,

Success enough!'—may say the Machinist

Who knows what less or more result might be:

But we, who see that done we cannot do,

'A feat beyond man's force,' we men must say.
