Gryphon - The Plough Boys Dream (High Quality)

I am a ploughboy stout and strong as ever drove a teamAnd three years since as I lay in bed I had a dreadful dreamI dreamt I drove my master's team - three horses travelled farBefore a stiff and armoured plough - as all my masters are.I found the ground was baked so hard - 'twas more like bricks than clayI could not cut my furrow through - nor would my beasts obeyThe more I whipped and slashed and swore - the less my horses triedDobbin lay down and Belle and Star ignored my threats and cries.'Till low above me appeared a youth - he seemed to hang in airAnd all around a dazzling light - which made my eyes to stare"Give over cruel wretch" he cried "Do not thy beasts abuseThink if the ground was not so hard - they would their work refuse"."Besides, I heard thee curse and swear, as if dumb beasts could knowJust what your oaths and cursing meant - it's better far than goldThat you should know that there is one who knows thy sins full wellAnd what shall be thy after doom - another shall thee tell."No more" he said but light as air - he vanished from my sightAnd with him went the sun's bright beams - 'twas all as dark as nightThe thunder roared from underground - the earth it seemed to gapeBlue flames broke forth - and in those flames appeared an awful shape."I soon shall call thee mine" he cried - with a voice so clear and deepAnd quivering like an Aspen leaf - I woke out of my sleepSo ponder well you ploughboys all - this dream that I have toldAnd if the work goes hard with you - its worth your weight in gold.
