Afternoon on a hill
Language:
English
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun,
I will touch a hundred flowers
And [not pick one.]1
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine
And then start down.
