AFTER
Oh, the littles that remain!
Scent of mint out in the lane;
Flare of
window, sound of bees; -
These, but these.
Three times sitting down to bread;
One time climbing up to
bed;
Table-setting o'er and o'er;
Drying herbs for winter's store;
This
thing; that thing; - nothing more.
But just now out in the lane,
Oh, the scent of mint was plain!
Lizette Woodworth Reese [1856-1935]
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
