Often have I beheld the angered swain Charge through thy ranks with horse and steel in vain, And often have I seen the children try With gleaming blade to make thy banners fly Till every scion of thy stock was slain.
But when the havoc tarried I have seen Thy striplings spring again to take the field, Choke the strong tuber, rout the bean forlorn, Shade every valued plant with insolent green, Constrain the earth to their prolific yield, And wave their purpling tops above the corn.
2 With plow a...nd chain I saw the husbandman Tear up thy roots to Avither in the heat, [59] THE WINGS OF OPPRESSION And drag thy foliage down to make a seat For the brown odorous furrow-crest that ran Across the mead where thy career began : But every blade and stalk that met defeat Rose up transfigured into sheaves of wheat, And wrought a conquest by a subtler plan.
Ah, then I knew that he is more than blind And dim of thought who cannot surely see In thee the symbol of a world of men Swept down to darkness by the torrid wind Blown from the caves of fate eternally, In whom posterity will rise again.
