Complete the poem by thinking of the one word whose letters, when rearranged, will yield the appropriate word for each series of blanks. Each dash corresponds to a letter of the word.



_ _ _ _ apart, secure through custom's power,

The manor lord stood gazing from his tower

At serfs' poor _ _ _ _ , then meditatively

Mused, "_ _ _ _ it's been and evermore shall be."





Answer to October 3, 2011 puzzle:
