WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID
BY THE well, where the bullocka go
Silent and blind and slow
By the field where the young corn dies
By the face of the sultry skies.
They have heard, as the dull Earth hears
The voice of the wind of an hour,
The sound of the Great Queen's voice:
"My God hath given me. years, ,
Hath granted dominion and power:
And I bid you, O Landrejoice."
And the plowman settles the share
More deep in the grudging clod;
For he saith: "The wheat is my care.
And the rest is the will of God..
He sent the Mahratta spear
And He sendeth the rain,
And the Mlech, in the fated year,
Broke the spear in twain,
And was broken in turn. t"Who knows.
How our Lords make strife? .
It is good that the young wheat grows,
For the bread is life."
"To-day and to-morrow God's will," he
said, . -
As he trimmed the lamps on. the wal.L
"He sendeth us years that are good.
As He sendeth the dearth. ' - -
He giveth to each man his food,
Or Her food to the earth.
Our Kings and Queens are afar
On their peoples be peace
God bringeth the rain to the Bar,
That our cattle increase." ...
And the plowman settled the share .
More deep in the sun-dried clod:
"Mogul. Mahratta," and Mlech from the
- North, - . - -
And White Queen over the Seas .
God-raiseth them up and driveth them
. forth. "" " v ; ' '
As the dust of the plowshare flies in the
1 breeze; ;
But the wheat and the cattle are all my
And tUe' rest is the will of God." '
