The Lass on a Spring day
By ELANBEMO TUNGOE
One fine spring morning
I set out for the meadows
To watch the grasslands
And the lives happening there
Witnessed the mosaic at the barn
It added more beauty to the farm
Saw a Lass while I wandered
Like a solitary reaper
She was dressed in a work cloth
Sowing seeds as she stepped forward
For she will harvest when it is autumn
And will last till winter with gaiety
She lives by dignity of work
Toiling to live, and living to toil
I stared at her when she halted from work
Resting, she takes off her hat and the mask
God, she is an epitome of beauty!
She toils today which is tiresome
But tomorrow will be a day of rest
For she will harvest a bounty!!!
