The earth burns brown.
Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
Earth wears a dun-colored dress
like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.”

That fate is thineno distant date;
Stern Ruins ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crushd beneath the furrows weight,
Shall be thy doom.”
