Behind the House is the Millet Plot
Behind the house is the millet plot,
And past the
millet, the stile;
And then a hill where melilot
Grows with wild camomile.
There was a youth who bade me goodby
Where the hill rises to meet the
sky.
I think my heart broke; but I have forgot
All but the smell of the
white melilot.
From: Rittenhouse, Jessie B.
The Second Book of Modern Verse (1919).
