Thus she stood amid the stooks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.

She stood breast-high amid the corn
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had won.Thomas Hood
The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid.

Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes.
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all.
I still believed in my dreams.Bob Seger
