Thou has a lap full of seed

字號:


     Thou hast a lap full of seed,
     And this is a fine country.
     Why dost thou not cast thy seed,
     And live in it merrily.
     Shall I cast it on the sand
     And turn it into fruitful land?
     For on no other ground
     Can I sow my seed,
     Without tearing up
     Some stinking weed.
