By the time chimes of freedom
startle your sleeping ears
and you hear Bob Dylan sing,
play, and cast his dancing spell
Your way, shiploads of wage-slaves
have pitched in, pitchmen have cut in,
Al Kooper has snuck in, even the taxman
has joined our sonorous feast.
Herman Melville* worked alone.
*Mr. Dylan’s Nobel Prize lecture has 78 sentences about Moby Dick.
