"Cynddylan on a Tractor" by R.S. Thomas Ah, you should see Cynddylan on a tractor. Gone the old look that yoked him to the soil, He's a new man now, part of the machine, His nerves of metal and his blood oil. The clutch curses, but the gears obey His least bidding, and lo, he's away Out of the farmyard, scattering hens. Riding to work now as a great man should, He is the knight at arms breaking the fields' Mirror of silence, emptying the wood Of foxes and squirrels and bright jays. The sun comes over the tall trees Kindling all the hedges, but not for him Who runs his engine on a different fuel. And all the birds are singing, bills wide in vain, As Cynddylan passes proudly up the lane. (Picture taken from a speeding Grand Central train from London to Wakefield.)
