Seams, furrows, and scarsOn the face of our Mother Earth,For the gods set sorrow and tearsAt the gates of birth. Swift flight of the seed,Like a bird through the sun-bright air,To rot in the ground, or breedIn the Dread One’s care. Broken heart of soil,Taking all to its patient breast,With never a cease from toilOr a dream of rest. Wheat-grains grow to wheat,And the seed of a tare to tare.Who knows if Man’s soul will meetMan’s body to wear? Great Ram! grant me lifeFrom the grain of a golden deed;Sink not my soul in the strifeTo wake as a weed.
