a grain of sand

[fledgist]

the universe is measured in one hand

that's all we know and all within each mind

a sight of this is given to the blind

there is no boundary to this command

we aren't allowed to think nor to demand

instead we're set to work and bid to find

the simple answers of the older kind

and set them out in manner plain and bland

this is the working of the true machine

which we have built in the familiar way

so we are told neither to faint nor fear

nor to be worried for what might have been

as this is passage of another day

and we are sailing through a better year
