      Death

      Mar 1, 2020

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.

      In the house I walk around

      Over shining floors.

      Pleasant things to do are found

      In the snug

      Indoors.

      MY DEAREST IS A LADY

      Table of Contents

      My dearest is a lady, and she wears a gown of blue;

      She sits beside the window, where the yellow sun comes through;

      The light is shining on her hair, and all the while she sews

      She sings a song about a knight—a brave, good knight she knows.

      My dearest is a lady,—and O, I love her well!

      Full five and twenty times a day this very tale I tell;

      For I’m the knight in armor—a shield and sword I wear;

      And mother is my lady, with the light upon her hair.

      BUBBLES

      Table of Contents

      Misty balls of rainbow stuff,

      Sailing in the sun,

      We have watched them as they grew,

      Slowly, one by one.

      Flowers they are that bud and blow,

      Shining spheres of light;

      Our eager hands would grasp them

      Before they burst from sight.

      Little brother, come and see!

      Here’s a pretty thing,

      Glowing like a fairy lamp,

      Floating like a wing.

      Magic colors gleam and go

      In a glad surprise;

      Can you reach the jewels there,

      Little Wonder-Eyes?

      [Image unavailable.]

      Little boy from ’cross-the-street,

      Very straight and proud,

      Blows the biggest one of all,

      Rosy as a cloud;

      Up it rises like a bird,

      Trembles in the air,

      Shines with all its soul for us,

      Then is gone nowhere.

      Sky has sent her sweetest blue,

      Dawn has sent her rose,

      River sends her laughter-lights,—

      Don’t you just suppose?

      Day has given clearness,—
