No Labor-Saving Machine.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

NO LABOR-SAVING MACHINE.

NO labor-saving machine, Nor discovery have I made, Nor will I be able to leave behind me any wealthy bequest to  
 found a hospital or library, Nor reminiscence of any deed of courage for America, Nor literary success nor intellect, nor book for the book-shelf, But a few carols vibrating through the air I leave, For comrades and lovers.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.
