Plowing in the Nivernais, by Rosa Bonheur
Robert L. Martin

The Tilling

From the inversion of summer and winter’s soil,
from icy hideaways of cryptic spoil,
the new ground is now a convalescent home,
a fallow that becomes a fertile loam,
a fertile loam that promotes the seed
that grows everything the farmers need,
a healthy crop from his conscientious tilling,
a job well done for needs fulfilling.

I wrote this for the Belt and Beyond
