HARVEST, by                    
First Line: Now comes the season of falling leaf
Last Line: Plow the spring's field!
Subject(s): Harvest


Now comes the season of falling leaf,
Of falling tear,
When hearts gather their harvest of grief
From all the year.

Poignant and bitter, marked by regret,
Garner the grain.
Winter shall winnow; then love may forget
The increase of pain.

Search out the least ravaged, scourge-bitten part
From the sad yield.
In soil watered when memories start,
Plow the spring's field!
