A man saw a soft brown, newly-cut, wheat field, So spacious it would hold the world. The mountains of wheat stacks, Rising in dull purple, against The fading azure of the evening sky Seemed to him the work of God. And knowing it was but the work of man, He felt the strength of God rise up in him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER WORKING SIXTY HOURS AGAIN FOR WHAT REASON by HICOK.
