The poem
Blue and dark-blue rose and deepest rose white and pink they
are everywhere in the diligent cornfield rising and swaying in their reliable
finery in the little fling of their bodies their gear and tackle
all caught up in the cornstalks. The reaper's story is the story of endless work of
work careful and heavy but the reaper cannot separate them out there they
are in the story of his life bright random useless year after year
taken with the serious tons weeds without value humorous beautiful weeds.
