Forests flee before the stroke of one group of people in this poem whose "hammers ring their forges smoke" and who "sit in honest labour" despite their voices sounding "through senate halls / In majesty and power." Â One part of this poem describes the "plant of freedom," which "upward sprung" with "leaves so fresh and young."
