Old Callow at his autumn ploughing,

Old Callow, stooped above the hales.

Ploughing the stubble into wales;

His grave eyes looking straight ahead,

Shearing a long straight furrow red;

His plough-foot high to give it earth

To bring new food for men to birth.

O wet red swathe of earth laid bare,

O truth, O strength, O gleaming share,

O patient eyes that watch the goal,
