After a cleansing rain, the open plains reveal
no sign ofcontaminating dust.
Now the eye can see:
as far as the citygate marking the pier,
village greenswatered by the creek,
bordering plowedfields yet to come,
emerald peaksrising behind hills.
With the advent of spring,
it is now time tosow and toil.
