In Clover.
JUNE.
There is clover, Honey-sweet,
Thick and tangled at our feet;
Crimson-spotted lies the field,
Blood-blotted like a warrior's shield.
Where the poppies, full of scorn,
Proudly wave above the corn.
There is music at our feet,
In the clover, honey-sweet.
Thick and tangled at our feet;
Crimson-spotted lies the field,
Blood-blotted like a warrior's shield.
Where the poppies, full of scorn,
Proudly wave above the corn.
There is music at our feet,
In the clover, honey-sweet.
You may track the winds that blow
Through the corn-fields as they go;
From the wheat, as from a sea,
Springs the lark, in ecstasy.
Now the bloom is on the blade,
In the sun and in the shade.
There is music at our feet,
In the clover, honey-sweet.
Through the corn-fields as they go;
From the wheat, as from a sea,
Springs the lark, in ecstasy.
Now the bloom is on the blade,
In the sun and in the shade.
There is music at our feet,
In the clover, honey-sweet.
