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.
