Afternoon On A Hill

________________________________________________
Title:     Afternoon On A Hill
Author: Edna St Vincent Millay [More Titles by Millay]

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

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!





[The end]
Edna St Vincent Millay's poem: Afternoon On A Hill
