Three Fields

FIELD of oats, field of rye, corn-field,—these the three:Well they yielded, well they throve, the seed-plots tilled by me.
Field of oats, sombre field, with clover down below,For my horse, my raven horse, ’neath God’s blessing grow.
Field of rye, tawny field, poppy and corn-flower there,Rye for bread, a bunch of flowers, my child, shall be your share.
Field of wheat, golden field, stalks that bow their crest;Sparrows ate the half of it, the gentry will eat the rest.
In The Fields (1900)
