PART TWO
The Shallow Grass
The plow of tamarisk wood which is shared with black copper
And drawn by a yoke of oxen all black
Drags in the earth.
The earth is made ready with copper,
The earth is prepared for the seed by the feet of oxen
That are shod with brass.
They said, Good Luck! Good Luck! What a handsome couple!
Isn’t she lovely though! He can’t keep his hands
Away from her. Ripe as a peach she is. Good Luck!
Good-bye, Good-bye—
