Edwin Markham World Poems
- 1. The Man With The Hoe
(Written after seeing Millet's world-famous painting)
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
... - 2. The Joy Of The Hills
I ride on the mountain tops, I ride;
I have found my life and am satisfied.
Onward I ride in the blowing oats,
Checking the field-lark's rippling notes-
... - 3. Lincoln, The Man Of The People
When the Norn Mother saw the Whirlwind Hour
Greatening and darkening as it hurried on,
She left the Heaven of Heroes and came down
To make a man to meet the mortal need.
