A SON Gar Fee AR War ACE RY

OME springtime ,
day
In a nest will lie
an ego,
Blue as the stockings
Ona peacock’s leg ;
Some sunny day
It will be a pulpy
ball,
With two frowzy
wings
To break its fall.

Some April time,
When the rain has
passed away,
I shall find a Crow’s-foot

Nodding blossoms gay.

 

Dandelion and fern ~ Mocking-bird and red-wing,
Will jump up at my feet, The kildee and jay,
As I begin to wonder All build their roof-trees
What can be so sweet. Where I see them ev'ry day.
An undiscovered country Liverwort and lady’s smock,
In a little woodland plot ; Wild clematis vine,
Something’s always new there, Cluster in a woodland —
Something’s just forgot. God’s, and thine, and mine.

Sallie Margaret O'Malley.
