| 131. The Plowboy |
| |
| |
| AFTER the last red sunset glimmer, | |
| Black on the line of a low hill rise, | |
| Formed into moving shadows, I saw | |
| A plowboy and two horses lined against the gray, | |
| Plowing in the dusk the last furrow. | 5 |
| The turf had a gleam of brown, | |
| And smell of soil was in the air, | |
| And, cool and moist, a haze of April. | |
| |
| I shall remember you long, | |
| Plowboy and horses against the sky in shadow. | 10 |
| I shall remember you and the picture | |
| You made for me, | |
| Turning the turf in the dusk | |
| And haze of an April gloaming. | |
