LRC歌词

1918 Ellen Bryant Voigt

Thought at first that grief had brought him down,
His wife dead, his own hand dug the grave
under a willow oak, in family ground—
he got home sick, was dead when morning came.
By week’s end, his cousin who worked in town
was seized at once by fever and by chill,
left his office, walked back home at noon,
death ripening in him like a boil.

Soon it was a farmer in the field—
someone’s brother, someone’s father—
left the mule in its traces and went home.
Then the mason, the miller at his wheel,
from deep in the forest the hunter, the logger,
and the sun still up everywhere in the kingdom.
