WE FIELD WOMEN.
How it rained "When we worked at Flintcomb-Ash, And could not stand upon the hill Trimming swedes for the slicing mill. The wet washed through us—plash, plash, plash :
How it rained I
How it snowed When we crossed from Flintcomb-Ash To the Great Barn for drawing reed. Since we could nowise chop a swede.— Flakes in each doorway and casement-sash: How it snowed I
How it shone When we went from Flintcomb-Ash To start at dairywork once more In the laughing meads, with cows threescore, And pails, and songs, and love—too rash : How it shone I
—Thomas Hardy.
