TO THE HUSBANDMAN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sown are the golden seeds in the smooth furrow
Last Line: New life the furrows are giving.
Subject(s): Caregivers; Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


SOWN are the golden seeds in the smooth furrow
And cover'd from view;
Deeper furrows some day shall thy bones conceal,
And under one blue
Of the heavens over-hanging, the ploughman
Shall gather food for the living:
Hope from even the tomb vanishes never,
New life the furrows are giving.
