Answer 2

FRENCH PEASANTS

These going home at dusk

Along the lane,

After the day's warm work,

Do not complain.

Were you to say to them,

'What does it mean?

What is it all about,

This troubled dream?'

They would not understand,

They'd go their way

Or, if they spoke at all,

They'd surely say,

'Dawn is the time to rise,

Days are to earn

Bread and the mid-day rest,

Dusk to return;

'To be content, to pray.

To hear songs sung,

Or to make wayside love,

If one is young.

'All from the good God comes,

All then is good;

Sorrow is known to Him,

And understood.'

One who had questioned all,

And was not wise,

Might be ashamed to meet

Their quiet eyes.

All is so clear to them,

All is so plain,

These who go home at dusk,

Along the lane.

Monk Gibbon
