“Primpara: The Valley Harvest” by H.L. Davis

The Valley Harvest

Honey in the horn! I brought my horse from the

water

And from the white grove of tall alders over the

spring,

And brought him past a row of high hollyhocks

Which flew and tore their flowers thin as his mane.

And women there watched, with hair blown over their

mouths;

Yet in watching the oat field they were quiet as the

spring.
