OUT IN THE FIELDS
Unknown
[Has been erroneously attributed to Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Louise Imogen Guiney]
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 might pass
I cast them all away
Among tile
clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the hushing of the
corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born
-
Out in the fields of God.
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
