Red, red the sunset flames behind
The black, black elms and hedges,
All through the noon no least Leaf
stirred,
But crickets hummed and beetles
whirred--
Now comes a breath of fresh, sweet wind
From silent pools and sedges.
All through hot noon the reapers stand
And toll with jests and laughter,
Beneath the blazing skies that burn,
Then, laughing still, they homeward
turn
By threes and fours; and hand in hand
Go two that linger after.
And here we linger hand in hand
And watch the backing shadows.
Had we been born to reap and SOW,
To wake when swallows stir, and go
Forth in chill dawn to plow the land,
Or NOW the misty meadows
Had that been nobler' Love Of mine,
We still had only striven,
AS now we strive, to do our best
To do good work and earn good rest.
All that's human is divine;
All life, lived well, makes heaven.
