WINTER FIELD.
Sorrow on the acres. Wind in the thorn. And an old man ploughing Through the frosty morn. A flock of the dark birds, Rooks and their wives, Follow the plough team The old man drives; And troops of starlings, A-tittle-tat and prim, ' Follow the rooks That follow him. —A. E, Coppard, in the New Republic.
