Yes, There Is One Who Makes Us All Lay Down + 

Yes, there is one who makes us all lay down + 

Our mushroom vanities, our speculations, + 

Our well-set theories and calculations, + 

Our workman’s jacket or our monarch’s crown! + 

To him alike the country and the town, + 

Barbaric hordes or civilized nations, + 

Men of all names and ranks and occupations, + 

Squire, parson, lawyer, Jones, or Smith, or Brown! + 

He stops the carter: the uplifted whip + 

Falls dreamily among the horses’ straw; + 

He stops the helmsman, and the gallant ship + 

Holdeth to westward by another law; + 

No one will see him, no one ever saw, + 

But he sees all and lets not any slip. + 
