I have a big story
As long as my arm.
I have been on a visit
To grandfather’s farm.
It is made up of patches
Of country all tied
Together with fences
To keep it inside.
Some patches have animals,
Some are all rowed.
And some look like lawns
That ought to be mowed.
My grandfather’s groceries
Are stuck all around
On trees and in bushes.
And down in the ground.
The eggs are where chickens
Sit down in the mow.
And they get milk from faucets
Right under a coiw.

Winter comes swiftly,
I go a.- a gleaner
Through the Autumn season
Hoarding memories
Of brilliant hues
And flashes of song.
Through the fields
For brown and yellow grasses
And the drum of frantic quail;
Past the thicket
Where the sumac glows
Crimson and gold;
Along the river’s edge
Where red brids dart,
Singing, singing,
Falling swifter
Than the leaves
Of the stripped sycamores;
Up the hill
F or a glimpse
Of a dappled fawn
Against the dark green of the

By the red-oak clump
For a branch of scarlet leaves!
