THE HARVEST


We meet Demeter, mother of Kore, and Goddess of the Harvest

Ripe grain rise golden
Sun on my body 
Golden my hair 
Resplendent 
The bounty I share

Sweet bloom 
Bright meadow 
Dances my daughter 
Never a care 
Forever 
With flowers in her hair

A field of poppies and of wheat 
My feet All dressed in scarlet petals kiss the land 
My hands 
With sheaves of barley and of corn 
Adorn the Earth in beauty wondrous to behold 
And gold the harvest
