VAGRANT VERSE
PASTORAL. (Written for the Southland Times.) Quiet the moon on the stubbled field floods with silver stook and stalk, and through its glamour voices talk in fluting tones that seem to yield for listeners a secret sense of passion, brooding in suspense. A shadow rises, moves to the lane of silver long between the wheat and treads with rustling shadow feet to where a gate link clangs its chain; and some poor heart, o’erbrirnmed with grief, sobs in the shadow of a sheaf. —Shaun O’Sullivan. Invercargill, April 16, 1929.
