ILLINOIS FARMER, by BEULAH JACKSON CHARMLEY First Line: Between the fragrant rows of corn he strides Last Line: Our native labor, there among the maize! Subject(s): Fertility | ||||||||
Between the fragrant rows of corn he strides, The cultivator handles steadily, Pulling upon his arms; and as he guides His willing mare, a homely melody Is rendered by the lines that saw Across his denim-covered shoulders, gnaw Of tugs on whippletree, and caw Of scouting crows. The earth is young that slides Beneath his cowhide shoes -- fertility That promises to fill the maw Of granary and crib, come husking days. Robust, assured, how fitly he portrays Our native labor, there among the maize! | Other Poems of Interest...TO BE BORN AGAIN by ANSELM HOLLO GATHERING MUSHROOMS: CAMBRIA by CLARENCE MAJOR CORNKIND by FRANK O'HARA (1926-1966) REASONABLE MELANCHOLY by JOSEPH BEAUMONT FERTILE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE HARVEST by ARTHUR MILTON POPE MADAME DELUXE'S MAIL-ORDER BRIDES: 5.
