GO, PLOUGHMAN, PLOUGH

Joseph Campbell

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.
