If He Can Make Her So - by Haniel Long

November 17, 2015

The living roots enfold the soil, the soil

The living roots – between them is forever

The secret ritual of their nourishment.

Without the roots the earth must blow away,

And out of earth roots wither.

Nobody knows what the soil is, except

That it is something working towards a balance,

Something that balances itself with death

As well as life, and needs long years to do so.

If the wide earth has anywhere done better

Because of men, be sure they were good men,

Each of whom tended his own bit of ground

Humbly, and went down into it at last

His heart already changed to a rich compost.

 

 

Many thanks to Eliot Coleman for digging up this poem by Haniel Long, 1968.
