The Depths of the Grass

by Michael Field

Look, in the early light,

Down to the infinite

Depths at the deep grass-roots;

Where the sun shoots

In golden veins, as looking through

A dear pool one sees it do;

Where campion drifts

Its bladders, iris-brinded, through the rifts

Of rising, falling seed

That the winds lightly scour—

Down to the matted earth where over

And over again crow’s-foot and clover

And pink bindweed

Dimly, steadily flower.

This poem is in the public domain. Published in Poem-a-Day on August 20, 2022, by the Academy of American Poets.

Michael Field was the pseudonym of English poets Katherine Harris Bradley and Edith Emma Cooper, who was Bradley’s niece, ward, and lover. Together, they authored multiple books of poetry and verse drama, including Callirhoë: Fair Rosamond (G. Bell and Sons, 1884), and Sight and Song (E. Mathews and J. Lane, 1892). They died within nine months of each other, on December 13, 1913, and September 26, 1914, respectively.
