Scarce One.
yRon THE GERMAN OF ALFRED FRIEDMAN

The plough tears up the tawny land
And burrows follow where it goes;
The sower at the seed-time strows
The grain therein with lavish hand.
Thick springs the golden wheat, and like
Stand in the field each haum and spike,
As dismal days that know no change.
Yet in the midst strange, fair flower is
blooming.
An alien seed was in the grain
The sower sowed, and thrive amain
Leaf. thorn, and tlower'cup fair and
strange.
OF life, Time burrows up the land;
We follow each his own path goes;
Scarce one finds in the grain he strows
One seed of love from Gods own hand.
