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 blow 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.
