Day is the hero's shield, <br />Achilles' field, <br />The light days are the angels. <br />We the seed. <br /> <br />Against eternal light and gorgon's face <br />Day is the shield <br />And we the grass <br />Native to fields of iron, and skies of brass.<br /><br />Kathleen Jessie Raine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/harvest/
