Excerpt from Labor and the Angel
In the flex of her figure lurk, The fire at the heart of the deed The angel that watches o'er work.
This is her Visible form, Heartening the labor she loves, Keeping the breath of it warm, Warm as a nestling of doves. Humble or high or sublime, Hers no reward Of degrees, Ditching as precious as rhyme, If only the spirit be true.
