WITHIN GARDEN WALLS

EARTH

JOHN HALL WHEELOCK

THE FURROW

Stride the hill, sower, Up to the sky-ridge, Flinging the seed, Scattering, exultant! Mouthing great rhythms To the long sea beats On the wide shore, behind The ridge of the hillside.

Below in the darkness-- The slumber of mothers-- The cradles at rest-- The fire-seed sleeping Deep in white ashes!

Give to darkness and sleep: O sower, O seer! Give me to the Earth. With the seed I would enter. O! the growth thro' the silence From strength to new strength; Then the strong bursting forth Against primal forces, To laugh in the sunshine, To gladden the world!

PADRAIC COLUM

"THERE IS STRENGTH IN THE SOIL"

There is strength in the soil; In the earth there is laughter and youth. There is solace and hope in the upturned loam. And lo, I shall plant my soul in it here like a seed! And forth it shall come to me as a flower of song; For I know it is good to get back to the earth That is orderly, placid, all-patient! It is good to know how quiet And noncommittal it breathes, This ample and opulent bosom That must some day nurse us all!
