Lavish Kindness
Indulgent giants burned to crispThe oak-trees of a dozen shires
Adorning thus a will-o'-the-wisp
With momentary pomp of fires.
The waters of an inland sea
Were magicked to a mountain peak
Enabling dwindled pools to be
Cool to a single swallow's beak.
But whether prodigies of waste,
Or idle, or beneficent,
Such deeds are not performed in haste
And none has fathomed their intent.English
