Sowing and Reaping

By Alice Cary

We must not hope to be mowers And gather the ripe gold ears, Until we have first been sowers, And watered the furrows with tears.
It is not just as we take it— This mystical world of ours; Life's field will yield as we make it, A harvest of thorns or flowers.
—Alice Cary.
