AFTER HARVEST by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: FAINT IS THE SPEECH OF THE TIRED HEART
Last Line: TO THE CALL OF DREAMS REPLYING.
Subject(s): HOMECOMING;
FAINT is the speech of the tired heart
To the call of dreams replying,
When hope wends home across the fields
Where the rose o' the year is dying.
0 weary head and heart and hands
Look up where the sun is dying --
Love leads you home across the fields
To the call of dreams replying.
