Responsibility

You ploughmen at the gate,
  All that you are for me
Is of my mind create,
  And in my brain to be
A figure newly won
From the world’s confusion.

And if you are of grace,
  That’s honesty for me,
And if of evil face,
  Recorded then shall be
Dishonour that I saw
Not beauty, but the flaw.
