Portrait of a Machine by Louis Untermeyer

What nudity as beautiful as this Obedient monster purring at this toil; Those naked iron muscles dripping oil, And the sure-fingered rods that never miss? This long and shining flank of metal is Magic that greasy labour cannot spoil; While this vast engine that could rend the soil Conceals its fury with a gentle hiss. It does not vent its loathing, it does not turn Upon its makers with destroying hate. It bears a deeper malice; lives to earn Its master's bread and laughs to see this great Lord of the earth, who rules but cannot learn, Become the slave of what his slaves create.
