Help! Non-religious harvest poem needed!

[knottyhair]

DS has to take in a poem about the harvest to read out in class. We've had very little notice for this, and we've trawled through his poetry books and can't find anything, or online! Should add that the school hasn't stipulated that it can't be religious, we'd just prefer it to be if possible. Has anyone got any ideas?? Thanks very much.

How old is DS?

This Harvest Hymn is religious, but not Christian.

This might do - not too long! Or this about the harvest moon by Longfellow. And this one with a Chinese theme is quite nice.

There's always Keats Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness.

Feasts by Shirley Hughes

Apples heaped on market barrow
Juicy plums and stripey marrow
Grains of barley carefully stored
Feasts of berries, nuts to hoard
And ripe pumpkins yellow and green
To light with candles at Hallowe?en.

Ted Hughes' Harvest Moon. Might be too much moon an not enough harvest though.

Sorry, forgot to say, he's 7 (year 3). Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, thought I was going to have to get him to write one !
