CONTRABAND by INA H. BEAN

First Line: LOVELIER THAN THE GLOW
Last Line: THE PRAIRIE'S CONTRABAND.
Subject(s): FARM LIFE; PLANTS; AGRICULTURE; FARMERS; PLANTING; PLANTERS;

Lovelier than the glow
Of the embered sunset
Is the graceful flow
Of grain, a sly coquette,
Ever luring the farmer;
Golden he sees it stand,
A magnetic sorcerer,
The prairie's contraband.
