GO, PLOUGHMAN, PLOUGH by JOSEPH CAMPBELL

Last Line: IN GOLDEN GLORY TO THE SUN.
Subject(s): PLOWING & PLOWEN;

GO, ploughman, plough
The mearing lands,
The meadow lands,
The mountain lands:
All life is bare
Beneath your share,
All love is in your lusty hands.

Up, horses, now!
And straight and true
Let every broken furrow run:
The strength you sweat
Shall blossom yet
In golden glory to the sun.
