FIELDS by RUTH CLAY PRICE

First Line: I AM SISTER OF THE VIRGIN FIELD
Last Line: REARING THE TAWNY GRAIN.
Subject(s): FIELDS; FRUIT; HARVEST; PASTURES; MEADOWS; LEAS;

I am sister of the virgin field,
Knowing the unbroken earth.

I am sister of the fallow field,
Sheathing the blade of the plough.

I am sister of the fertile field,
Sensing the swelling seed.

I am sister of the fruitful field,
Rearing the tawny grain.
