The Broken Field  (1920) 
by Sara Teasdale

My soul is a dark ploughed field
     In the cold rain;
My soul is a broken field
     Ploughed by pain.

Where grass and bending flowers
     Were growing,
The field lies broken now
     For another sowing.

Great Sower when you tread
     My field again,
Scatter the furrows there
     With better grain.
