Excerpt from In the Promised Land and Other Poems And toil in that land was a pleasant thing, for no man's toil was great, Since each one Shared in the burden, and lightened the the burden's weight And the fruits of their toil were plentiful, and no man lacked a share, the spoiler reaped not where the toiler had sowed, and the land was as free as air. And the old man there was a blessed man, for; toilless he wanted nought, And vice and toil on the little ones, no longer their ruin wrought.
