WIND ON THE CORN - ZaunköniG - 27.12.2010
WIND ON THE CORN.
Full often as I rove by path or stile,
To watch the harvest ripening in the vale,
Slowly and sweetly, like a growing smile—
A smile that ends in laughter—the quick gale
Upon the breadths of gold-green wheat descends ;
While still the swallow, with unbaffled grace,
About his viewless quarry dips and bends —
And all the fine excitement of the chase
Lies in the hunter's beauty : In the eclipse
Of that brief shadow, how the barley's beard
Tilts at the passing gloom, and wild-rose dips
Among the white-tops in the ditches rear'd :
And hedgerow's flowery breast of lacework stirs
l''ainlly in that full wind that rocks the outstanding firs.
