# Buried
**Verse 1**
Buried? Yes, but it is seed
From which Continents may feed;
Millions yet may bless the day
When that seed was laid away.
**Verse 2**
Buried! hidden! out of sight!
Dwelling in the deepest night;
Losing, underneath the sod,
*Everything,* except its God.
**Verse 3**
Buried, unremember'd, lost--
So thinks man: but all the cost
God has counted to display
Life abundant one glad day.
**Verse 4**
Art *thou* buried? God's pure seed
Doth thy heart in silence bleed?
Change thy sighing into song,
Thus alone can harvests come.
