Victoria Sackville West - A Saxon Song
Work rating: Low

Tools with the comely names,
     Mattock and scythe and spade,
     Couth and bitter as flames,
     Clean, and bowed in the blade,--
A man and his tools make a man and his trade.

     Breadth of the English shires,
     Hummock and kame and mead,
     Tang of the reeking byres,
     Land of the English breed,--
A man and his land make a man and his creed.

     Leisurely flocks and herds,
     Cool-eyed cattle that come
     Mildly to wonted words,
     Swine that in orchards roam,--
A man and his beasts make a man and his home.

     Children sturdy and flaxen
     Shouting in brotherly strife,
     Like the land they are Saxon,
     Sons of a man and his wife,--
For a man and his loves make a man and his life.
