BREAD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: STILL SURMOUNTING AS I CAME
Last Line: HAVE I JOURNEYED HERE.
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.
