Henceforth ye too may share the birthright soil,

The corn, the wine, and all the harvest-home.”

“O my dear lord, my radiant bridegroom, look!

Behold their joy who sorrowed in my dreams,—

The sword a share, the spear a pruning-hook;

Lo, I awake, and turn me toward thy beams

Even as a bride again! O, shed thy light

Upon my fruitful places in full streams!

Let there be yield for every living thing;

The land is fallow,—let there be increase
