Before I captured you, you sought
meat and bread and peace.
My turnings bade you cease
seeking solitude that old life brought.
I swept the earth
stippling stubble in grooves
and chains of dance;
moved your heart to gambol,
stole you from your ramble,
melted you, stubborn man.
You spied my moves
and judged my worth,
left behind hoe and plow
and dwell with me, now.
