by Joseph Campbell (1881 - 1944), as Seosamh MacCathmhaoil
Go, ploughman, plough
Language: English
Go ploughman, plough The mearing lands, The meadow lands, The mountain lands: All life is bare Beneath your share, All love is in your lusty hands. Up, horses, now! And straight and true Let every broken furrow run: The strength you sweat Shall blossom yet In golden glory to the sun.
Confirmed with Seosamh MacCathmhaoil, The Mountainy Singer, Dublin, Maunsel and Company, 1909, page 13.
