Day on the Farm
By Luis G. Dato
I've found you fruits of sweetest taste and found you
Bunches of duhat growing by the hill,
I've bound your arms and hair with vine and bound you
With rare wildflowers but you are crying still.
I've brought you all the forest ferns and brought you
Wrapped in green leaves cicadas singing sweet,
I've caught you in my arms an hour and taught you
Love's secret where the mountain spirits meet.
Your smiles have died and there is no replying
To all endearment and my gifts are vain;
Come with me, love, you are too old for crying,
The church bells ring and I hear drops of rain.
