 King Dives he was walking in his garden in the sun,

He shook his hand at heaven, and he called the wheels to run,

And the eyes of him were hateful eyes, the lips of him were curled,

And he called upon his father that is lord below the world,

Sitting in the Gate of Treason, in the gate of broken seals,

"Bend and bind them, bend and bind them, bend and bind them into wheels,

Then once more in all my garden there may swing and sound and sweep—

The noise of all the sleepless things that sing the soul to sleep."
