War shook the land where Levi dwelt	A
And fired the dismal wrath he felt	A
That such a doom was ever wrought	B
As his to toil while others fought	B
To toil to dream and still to dream	C
With one day barren as another	D
To consummate as it would seem	C
The dry despair of his old mother	D
	-
Far off one afternoon began	E
The sound of man destroying man	E
And Levi sick with nameless rage	F
Condemned again his heritage	G
And sighed for scars that might have come	H
And would if once he could have sundered	B
Those harsh inhering claims of home	I
That held him while he cursed and wondered	B
	-
Another day and then there came	J
Rough bloody ribald hungry lame	J
But yet themselves to Levi's door	K
Two remnants of the day before	K
They laughed at him and what he sought	B
They jeered him and his painful acre	D
But Levi knew that they had fought	B
And left their manners to their Maker	D
	-
That night for the grim widow's ears	L
With hopes that hid themselves in fears	L
He told of arms and fiery deeds	M
Whereat one leaps the while he reads	M
And said he'd be no more a clown	N
While others drew the breath of battle	O
The mother looked him up and down	N
And laughed a scant laugh with a rattle	O
	-
She told him what she found to tell	P
And Levi listened and heard well	P
Some admonitions of a voice	Q
That left him no cause to rejoice	Q
He sought a friend and found the stars	R
And prayed aloud that they should aid him	S
But they said not a word of wars	T
Or of a reason why God made him	S
	-
And who's of this or that estate	B
We do not wholly calculate	B
When baffling shades that shift and cling	U
Are not without their glimmering	U
When even Levi tired of faith	V
Beloved of none forgot by many	W
Dismissed as an inferior wraith	V
Reborn may be as great as any	W
