Days of the Flax
They stood and scanned the field before them, The full ripe waving expanse And in a line along the low ditch Steadied their stance, steadying breath, Full of the memory of the cycle-
The blue lakes of flax blossom Appearing out of the noon terrain, And after the pulling, the rush bands Binding the beets, gathering into stooks In ordered lines as a stone arrangement,
And the carrying to the flax-hole drowning Held down with sod and stone, and stench Of rot fill the land day and night Until, waist deep in thick dark water, The throwing out, beet after heavy beet
Bourne away across the acres To lye as bodies on a battlefield, There, into their abandonment Under the drying sun, as the scutch-mill Waits, ready for the final journey,
And the great water-driven wheel Turn its noisy eager cogs and laths As out of the mist of the shough dust, Out of the fractured broken remains A pure risen linen form appears.
The flax pullers stand to attention Ready in a line along the bottom ditch, Steady of stance, steady of breath, And full of the memory of the cycle Tear into the field with their bare hands.
