Poem by Madison Julius Cawein

Adversity

A barren field o'ergrown with thorn and weed
It stays for him who waits for help from God:
Only the soul that makes a plough of Need
Shall know what blossoms underneath its sod.

1. Dawn in the Alleghanies
2. Dithyrambics
3. The Festival of the Aisne
4. Solstice
5. The Moon Spirit
