black earthExceedingly fertile soil that covers a belt of land in northeastern North America, Europe, and Asia. In Europe and Asia it extends from Bohemia through Hungary, Romania, southern Russia, and Siberia, as far as Manchuria, having been deposited when the great inland ice sheets melted at the close of the last ice age. In North America, it extends from the Great Lakes east through New York State, having been deposited when the last glaciers melted and retreated from the terminal moraine.

| You'll see bits o' green spikes stickin' out o' th' black earth after a bit. As the sun became warmer and the light of day longer, the snow vanished, and I beheld the bare trees and the black earth. As the fame of some blameless king who, like a god, Maintains justice to whom the black earth brings forth Wheat and barley, whose trees are bowed with fruit, And his sheep never fail to bear, and the sea gives him fish. |
