O what terrible hands are yours

which - when not busied with your work -

are prone to violent overtures

that just beneath the surface lurk.

O what ferocious mouths are yours

to prove you nothing more than boors

when from the depths you rise to speak

in hope of bettering the bleak.

O what discerning eyes are yours

that seeing clear the path to take

do rouse in me a sort of wake.

O what exquisite ears are yours,

no utterance escapes your note

ere you should move to cast your vote.
