Subject(s): Death; Harvest; Dead, The


THE corn in golden light
Waves o'er the plain;
The sickle's gleam is bright;
Full swells the grain.

Now send we far around
Our harvest lay! --
Alas! a heavier sound
Comes o'er the day!

Earth shrouds with burial sod
Her soft eyes blue, --
Now o'er the gifts of God
Fall tears like dew!

On every breeze a knell
The hamlets pour:
We know its cause too well --
She is no more!
