• (Soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
  Mingled with these, smooth bean and wrinkled pea;)
  And go along with you ere you lose sight
  Of what you came for and become like me,
  
  Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
  How love burns through the Putting in the Seed
  On through the watching for that early birth
  When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
  
  The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
  Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.
