BREAD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Still surmounting as I came
Last Line: Have I journeyed here.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Nature


Still surmounting as I came
Wind and water, frost and flame,
Night and day, the livelong year,
From the burial-place of seed,
From the earth's maternal bosom,
Through the root, and stem, and blossom,
To supply thy present need,
Have I journeyed here.
