<p> O PIONEERS!
<p> "Those fields, colored by various grain!"
<p> MICKIEWICZ
<p> TO THE MEMORY OF
<p> SARAH ORNE JEWETT
<p> IN WHOSE BEAUTIFUL AND DELICATE WORK
<p> THERE IS THE PERFECTION
<p> THAT ENDURES
PRAIRIE SPRING
<l>Evening and the flat land, </l>
<l>Rich and sombre and always silent; </l>
<l>The miles of fresh-plowed soil, </l>
<l>Heavy and black, full of strength and harshness; </l>
<l>The growing wheat, the growing weeds, </l>
<l>The toiling horses, the tired men; </l>
<l>The long empty roads, </l>
<l>Sullen fires of sunset, fading, < . . .
