Saturday Poetry Corner: Out In The Fields With God

 

 

 

The little cares that fretted me,

I lost them yesterday,

Among the fields, above the sea,

Among the winds at play;

Among the lowing of the herds,

The rustling of the trees;

Among the singing of the birds,

The humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what may happen,

 

I cast them all away

 

Among the clover-scented grass,

 

Among the new-mown hay;

 

Among the rustling of the corn,

 

Where drowsy poppies nod,

 

Where ill thoughts die and good are born

 

Out in the fields with God.
