Read The Cornfields of General William Booth enters into Heaven and other Poems, free online book, by Vachel Lindsay, on ReadCentral.com.

  The cornfields rise above mankind,
  Lifting white torches to the blue,
  Each season not ashamed to be
  Magnificently decked for you.

  What right have you to call them yours,
  And in brute lust of riches burn
  Without some radiant penance wrought,
  Some beautiful, devout return?
