Nature

"Rode the Six Hundred"

by Amy Lowell 1874–1925

From Ballads for Sale (1927)

Nature

A June-bug has just flown in through my window,
And to-day I sat among narcissus and grape-hyacinths
Drinking the sudden sun.

The terrible Winter has passed

Flinging my garden full of flowers.

But for me I think it will not be long,

Not long,

Before it is the end.

Ah, my flowers!
