Versos English Rose Hawthorne Lathrop ZEST.

English poem

ZEST.

by (1851–1926)

Listen in the reader

Labor not in the murky dell, But till your harvest hill at morn; Stoop to no words that, rank and fell, Grow faster than the rustling corn.

With gladdening eyes go greet the sun, Who lifts his brow in varied light; Bring light where'er your feet may run: So bring a day to sorrow's night.
