Versos English Edwin Markham In Poppy Fields

English poem

In Poppy Fields

by (1852–1940)

Listen in the reader

Here the poppy hosts assemble: How they startle, how they tremble! All their royal hoods unpinned Blow out lightly in the wind. Here is gold to labor for; Here is pillage worth a war.

Men that in the cities grind, Come! before the heart is blind.
