First Line: Green shoots, we break the morning earth
Last Line: The footfall of her enemy.
Subject(s): Green (color); Leaves
GREEN shoots, we break the morning earth
And flourish in the morning's breath;
We leave the agony of birth
And soon are all midway to death.
While yet the summer of her year
Brings life her marvels, she can see
Far off the rising dust, and hear
The footfall of her enemy.
