RESPONSIBILITY, by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: You ploughman at the gate
Last Line: Not beauty, but the flaw.
First Line: You ploughman at the gate
Last Line: Not beauty, but the flaw.
YOU ploughman 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.
