This peom reminds me so much of one I’ve loved since childhood:

“Maud Muller” by John Greenleaf Whittier is about a young maiden in the field.

The ending still tears me up.

Thanks for sharing this one and the story attached to it.

"Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;— " Oh I’d love to hear that song!

I saw her singing at her work,
And o’er the sickle bending;—
