The cause of this sudden cessation;

And so I had tinkered with tools for a space

Ere I thought of my favourite poet,

And said to myself, "Lo! the time and the place

And the loved one in unison; go it."

I might have remembered man seldom appears

Alluring in look or in manner

With a smut on his nose, oleaginous ears

And frenziedly clutching a spanner;

Though down by the cycle I fell to my knees
