First Line: DOWN NEAR THE EARTH Last Line: BITTERNESS AND BLACKNESS FROM THE EARTH. Subject(s): GRIEF; PEASANTRY; SORROW; SADNESS;
DOWN near the earth On the steaming furrows Things are harsh and black enough Dearth there is and lack enough, And immemorial sorrows Stultify sweet mirth Till she borrows Bitterness and blackness from the earth.
