Elements of Earth
Earth wakes in the spring with new sprouting grain
After brittle white frost, or slush under rain
We can see gold arise, where the wheat fields were sown
and the hills are ablaze with a honeycomb loam
I can see quivering trees, and stiff shocks of corn
The amber of the noon, and the warm curl of hay
The fragrant smell of earth, of green moss and peat
Where tangled bent grass and willows will lean
A muddy bank falls, by the winding rock creek
and the dampness has called us to soon wash our feet
Our blanket is spread upon the spring meadow's girth
As we drink up the peace of the sweet scented earth
