The seed

Sowing the seed by the noon­day glare,
Sowing the seed in ma­ny a way,
Love for love is sure to rip­en,
In the morn­ing bright and fair?
In faith tho’ lit­tle know­ing;
That rip­ened grain, from hill and plain,
Has sown Himself into our heart
Sinks to sleep in dark­ness, but to wake again.
Into my innermost part—
