As I Watch'd the Ploughman Ploughing.

Part of the cluster WHISPERS OF HEAVENLY DEATH.

AS I WATCH'D THE PLOUGHMAN PLOUGHING.

AS I watch'd the ploughman ploughing, Or the sower sowing in the fields, or the harvester harvesting, I saw there too, O life and death, your analogies; (Life, life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)
