Scarlet Poppies Print

The Scarlet Poppies archival giclee print, featuring Alice C. Henderson's poem "The Harvest" depicts a section of the poem with the imagery of poppies growing in the fields that provide the nourishment for us to be a healthy and strong community. 

I love this poem and have it hanging in my kitchen at home to remind me daily to be thankful for each meal.

The poem reads:

The silver rain, the shining sun
The fields where scarlet poppies run
And all the rustling of the wheat
Is in the bread that we now eat.

So it is with grateful heart we feel
When we sit down to every meal
That we are eating rain and sun and
Fields where scarlet poppies run.

— Alice C. Henderson
