A Spring Harvest/"So we lay down the Pen"

by Geoffrey Bache Smith

"SO WE LAY DOWN THE PEN"

So we lay down the pen,
So we forbear the building of the rime,
And bid our hearts be steel for times and a time
 Till ends the strife, and then,
When the New Age is verily begun,
God grant that we may do the things undone.
