Song Of The Dynamo (Brazilian Verses)

Topics: classic

How do I know what Order brings     Me into being?     I only know, if you do certain things,     I must become your Hearing and your Seeing     Also your Strength, to make great wheels go round,     And save your sons from toil, while I am bound!     What do I care how you dispose     The Powers that move me?     I only know that I am one with those     True Powers which rend the firmament above me,     And, harrying earth, would save me at the last,     But that your coward foresight holds me fast!
