Excerpt from Rimes Rough-Hewn
The sunshine, commingled with down-pour of rains, Tells the world of the striving of spring.
The sullen loam yields to the glittering share, And upturns its dank face to the sun. The shout of the plow boy rings sharp on the air, As the long summer's work is begun. There's the crackling of stalks as the coulter breaks through. While the plows to the long ridges cling. Now the fair plains, to tiller and gleaner most true, Grow fairer with striving of spring.
When the strife is all done and the summer is come, With its wide fields of glorious grain, Then the singer and toiler will reckon the sum That was earned through the toiling and pain.
