|
The big doors of the country barn stand open and ready,
The dried grass of the harvest time loads the slow-drawn wagon, The clear light plays on the brown gray and green intertinged, The armfuls are packed to the sagging mow. I am there, I help, I came stretched atop of the load, I felt its soft jolts, one leg reclined on the other, I jump from the crossbeams and seize the clover and timothy, And roll head over heels and tangle my hair full of wisps.
