Live large

Hoping that someone can help... I need to know which poem ends with the line "live large, dream small."
Not as easy as knowing the FIRST line, of course.
Many thanks.

Is this the one?
R. S. Thomas was born in 1913 and is regarded as the pre-eminent Welsh poet writing in the English language. As Thomas notes in his affectionate portrait of eighty-five year old Job Davies ("Lore," Selected Poems 68):

Rhythm of the long scythe
Kept this tall frame lithe.

What to do? Stay green.
Never mind the machine,
Whose fuel is human souls.
Live large, man, and dream small.

Henry - yes, that's the one. Many thanks!
