Until the day’s out and the labour done,
Then bring your gauges.”

Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”

He’ll labour night and day
To be a Pilgrim.”
