The earth is fattened with our dead;
She swallows more and doth not cease:
her wine and oil increase
And her sheaves are not numbered;
Therefore her plants are green, and all
Her pleasant trees lusty and tall.
She swallows more and doth not cease:
her wine and oil increase
And her sheaves are not numbered;
Therefore her plants are green, and all
Her pleasant trees lusty and tall.
Christina Rossetti
