| I Come Singing |
| | | Jacob Auslander |
| |
| |
| I COME singing the keen sweet smell of grass | |
| Cut after rain, | |
| And the cool ripple of drops that pass | |
| Over the grain, | |
| And the drenched light drifting across the plain. | 5 |
| |
| I come chanting the mad bloom of the fall. | |
| And the swallows | |
| Rallying in clans to the rapid call | |
| From the hollows, | |
| And the wet west wind swooping down on the swallows. | 10 |
| |
| I come shrilling the sharp white of December, | |
| The night like. quick steel | |
| Swung by a gust in its plunge through the pallid ember | |
| Of dusk, and the heel | |
Of the fierce green dark grinding the stars like steel.
