Now Joi the rebel he had a son	A
In far far Gosh where the tall trees wave	B
Said Joi 'In Gosh there shall yet be one	A
To scorn this life of a self made slave	B
To spurn the law of the Knight Sir Stodge	C
And end the rule of the great King Splosh	D
Who shall warn the Glugs of their crafty dodge	C
And at last bring peace sweet peace to Gosh '	E
	-
Said he 'Whenever the kind sun showers	F
His golden treasure on grateful flowers	F
With upturned faces and hearts bowed low	G
The Glugs shall know what the wild things know '	-
Said he 'Wherever the broad fields smile	H
They shall walk with clean minds free of guile	H
They shall scoff aloud at the call of Greed	I
And turn to their labours and never heed '	-
	-
So Joi had a son and his name was Sym	J
And his eyes were wide as the eyes of Truth	K
And there came to the wondering mind of him	J
Long thoughts of the riddle that vexes youth	K
And 'Father ' he said 'in the mart's loud din	L
Is there aught of pleasure Do some find joy '	-
But his father tilted the beardless chin	L
And looked in the eyes of the questing boy	M
	-
Said he 'Whenever the fields are green	N
Lie still where the wild rose fashions a screen	N
While the brown thrush calls to his love wise mate	O
And know what they profit who trade with Hate '	-
Said he 'Whenever the great skies spread	P
In the beckoning vastness overhead	P
A tent for the blue wren building a nest	Q
Then down in the heart of you learn what's best '	-
	-
And there came to Sym as he walked afield	R
Deep thoughts of the world and the folk of Gosh	D
He saw the idols to which they kneeled	R
He marked them cringe to the name of Splosli	H
Is it meet ' he asked 'that a soul should crawl	H
To a purple robe or a gilded chair '	-
But his father walked to the garden's wall	H
And stooped to a rose bush flowering there	S
	-
Said he 'Whenever a bursting bloom	T
Looks up to the sun may a soul find room	T
For a measure of awe at the wondrous birth	U
Of one more treasure to this glad earth '	-
Said he 'Whenever a dewdropp clings	V
To a gossamer thread and glitters and swings	V
Deep in humility bow your head	R
To a thing for a blundering rnortal's dread '	-
	-
And there came to Sym in his later youth	K
With the first clear glance in the face of guile	H
Thirst for knowledge and thoughts of truth	K
Of gilded baubles and things worth while	H
And he said 'There is much that a Glug should know	G
But his mind is clouded his years are few '	-
Then joi the father he answered low	G
As his thoughts ran back to the youth he knew	W
	-
Said he 'Whenever the West wind stirs	F
And birds in feathers and beasts in furs	F
Steal out to dance in the glade lie still	H
Let your heart teach you what it will '	-
Said he 'Whenever the moonlight creeps	X
Thro' inlaced boughs a'nd a shy star peeps	X
Adown from its crib in the cradling sky	Y
Know of their folly who fear to die '	-
	-
New interest came to the mind of Sym	J
As 'midst his fellows he lived and toiled	R
But the ways of the Glug folk puzzled him	J
For some won honour while some were foiled	R
Yet all were filled with a vague unrest	R
As they climbed their trees in an endless search	D
But joi the father he mocked their quest	R
When he marked a Glug on his hard won perch	D
	-
Said he 'Whenever these tales are heard	R
Of the Feasible Dog or the Guffer Bird	R
Then laugh and laugh till the fat tears roll	H
To the roots of the joy bush deep in your soul	H
When you see them squat on the tree tops high	Y
Scanning for ever that heedless sky	Y
Lie flat on your back on the good green earth	U
And roar till the great vault echoes your mirth '	-
	-
As he walked in the city to Sym there came	Z
Sounds envenomed with fear and hate	R
Shouts of anger and words of shame	Z
As Glug blamed Glug for his woeful state	R
This blame ' said Sym 'Is it mortal's right	R
To blame his fellow for aught he be '	-
But the father said 'Do we blame the night	R
When darkness gathers and none can see '	-
	-
Said he 'Whenever there springs from earth	U
A plant all crooked and marred at birth	U
Shall we unlearned in the Gardener's scheme	A2
Blame plant or earth for the faults that seem '	-
Said he 'Whenever your wondering eyes	B2
Look out on the glory of earth and skies	B2
Shall you 'mid the blessing of fields a bloom	T
Fling blame at the blind man prisoned in gloom '	-
	-
So Joi had a son and his name was Sym	J
Far from the ken of the great King Splosh	D
And small was the Glugs' regard of him	J
Mooning along in the streets of Gosh	D
But many a creature by field and ford	R
Shared in the schooling of that strange boy	M
Dreaming and planning to gather and hoard	R
Knowledge of all things precious to Joi	C
