WHEAT, by BERTHA TODD CAMPBELL First Line: Tall ripening grain is such a thrilling sight Last Line: The finished product means his country's bread. Subject(s): Wheat | ||||||||
Tall ripening grain is such a thrilling sight: Rich undulating waves of ripening wheat Fills beauty-loving souls with keen delight While sky and field on far horizons meet. A bird goes winging by in lonely flight, A breeze weaves patterns of the quivering heat, It bends the lush grain from its sturdy height Then passes on with whispers of defeat. When evening comes to soften brazen light, When shining field and setting sun compete, When moonlight steals across the shades of night It paints a picture, perfect and complete. When man, through sod and nature, weaves a thread The finished product means his country's bread. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A THRESHER OF WHEAT TO THE WYNDES by JOACHIM DU BELLAY WHEAT by FRANCIS ALEXANDER DEWSON KANSAS (2) by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP SONG OF THE WHEAT by ANDREW BARTON PATERSON IN A WHEAT FIELD by CHARLES DAVIS PLATT WHAT IT TAKES by DOROTHY F.
