OH men, living men, vivid men, ocean and fire
don’t give any more life to the machines!
Draw it away, draw it away, for these horrible machine-people
can’t live any more, except for a spell, when the living cease
to accept them as brothers
and give them life.
Machines of iron must be tended by hands of flesh
and robots must have encouragement from men of the vivid life
or they break down.
Oh men of life and of living
withdraw, withdraw your flow
from the grinning and insatiable robots.
