The Sower. “ This is the strife, and eke the affraie, And the batill, that lasteth aie.” —Chaucer. Though his heart may dare to glory, Conscious of a God innate— Yet to read his future story, To foresee his future fate, To fore-sing his future singing, Never doth the Poet heed : Every day to him is bringing All of which the day hath need. Faithful is his hand and fearless : Wholesome seed, he knoweth well, May be sown in weather cheerless, But will spring up where it fell. Seed was given to his keeping, And from Heaven it was sent ; He has sown it. Is it sleeping In the soil ?—he is content.
