461 | "Raleigh was right" |
462 | We cannot go to the country |
463 | for the country will bring us |
464 | no peace |
465 | What can the small violets |
466 | tell us that grow on furry stems |
467 | in the long grass among |
468 | lance-shaped leaves? |
469 | Though you praise us |
470 | and call to mind the poets |
471 | who sung of our loveliness it was |
472 | long ago! |
473 | long ago! |
474 | when country people |
475 | would plow and sow with |
476 | flowering minds and pockets |
477 | at ease—if ever this were true. |
478 | Not now. Love itself a flower |
479 | with roots in a parched ground. |
480 | Empty pockets |
481 | make empty heads. Cure it |
482 | if you can but do not believe |
483 | that we can live today |
484 | in the country |
485 | for the country will bring us |
486 | no peace.
