Social Commentaries
XLVIII
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Social Commentaries
And she talked on--we talked, rather! upon all things, substance,
shadow,
Of the sheep that browsed the grasses, of the reapers in the corn,
Of the little children from the schools, seen winding through the
meadow,
Of the poor rich world beyond them, still kept poorer by its scorn.
