Regardless, what a lovely and evocative poem.

I’ll look for the Moser painting the next time I go to the Museum.

While reading this I thought I could smell the turned soil and hear the seagulls. Anyone who has lived where and when fields and gardens were plowed by men walking behind teams of big work horses for spring planting might have the same response.

One of my favorite paintings in the Church Museum of History and Art is a painting of that very scene, by Henry Moser, I think. It evokles the same feelings.
