An old stone farmhouse stands amidst sprawling farmland. Stone walls divide the fields. Wildflowers grow in the foreground.

Ancient stone wall
Stands guard over threshed fields,
Wildflowers
Nod to the breeze,
And far off
In the painful blue sky
A hawk hangs

Willows weep
For a dying brook
While crickets sing
Hymns
To the summer sun
