Yellow with birdfoot-trefoil are the grass-glades;

Yellow with cinquefoil of the dew-gray leaf;

Yellow with stone-crop; the moss-mounds are yellow;

Blue-necked the wheat sways, yellowing to the sheaf:

Green-yellow bursts from the copse the laughing yaffle;

Sharp as a sickle is the edge of shade and shine:

Earth in her heart laughs looking at the heavens,

Thinking of the harvest: I look and think of mine.
