INVIGILATOR : DERBY UK
IN CALLING FORTH AND STRENGTHENING THE IMAGINATION
IN BOYHOOD AND EARLY YOUTH

from first dawn
by day or star-light
everlasting motion
by day or star-light
everlasting motion
little jimmy norcliffe
he looked after me
sorted me out
with a good shovel
and a pair of wellingtons
he looked after me
sorted me out
with a good shovel
and a pair of wellingtons
high objects
the mean and vulgar
works of man
the mean and vulgar
works of man
showed me how to dig
without hurting my back
to lay concrete slabs
write out betting slips
on a bag of cement
enduring things
life and nature
purifying
