The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker
Through
sun and rain, the country lane, The field, the road, are my abode. Though leaf and bud be splashed with mud, Who cares? Not I! ~ I see the sky, The kindly sun, the wayside fun Of tramping folk who smoke and joke, The bairns who heed my dusty weed (No sting have I to make them cry), And truth to tell, they love me well, My brothers, White, and Yellow bright, Are finer chaps than I, perhaps; Who cares? Not I! So now good~bye. |
