On Our FarmLaura Sherry
From “A Town on the River”
I
And boys with white tender hands and weak backs
Are cleaning the cow-sheds and tossing the hay.
I wonder—over there—
If Big Charlie still wears a sprig of green in his hat,
If Bohemian John’s pipe has been shot away,
And if Indian Bruce sings his weird lullabies
Coming home in the twilight.
