Text :
----------------------------------


Roar! and roar! machines of the mines; 

 As far away as Germiston 

 The noise you make must vex my soul 

 And echo in my ears 

 Like distant bells of booming brass. 

 They speak to me of splendid homes, 

 Of men made rich because of me, 

 Made richer by my poverty; 

 A bloodless used-up ox am I!


     From : Appendixes, Pages 192-3.
