TO EARTH, by                    
First Line: Oh, fortunate the waiting that shall end in wonder
Last Line: And men be the seeds of our wild planting.
Subject(s): Earth; World


Oh, fortunate the waiting that shall end in wonder,
And blessed now the patience that is in thy biding;
For now are the herded clouds and the wild rain's thunder
Over the roof of thy quiet seeds' hiding.

We too, O earth, shall need thy blessedness of waiting
For the green flowering of pastures, when the panting
Storm shall cease; though blood be the rain that is abating,
And men be the seeds of our wild planting.
