But for Construct (2)

Oh, but for the pillars of high might

And for the stones sealed tight

And for foundations—our blight

Would we be happier alone?


Oh but for stubborn houses erected

And for paved roads neglected

And for constitutions ill comprehended!

We might yet have seen fruits of bliss blossom

From late-planted seeds of grief.
