First Line: Tell me is there anything lovelier
Last Line: Hushing the heart that beats and beats and beats?
Subject(s): Grass; Leaves
Tell me is there anything lovelier,
Anything more quieting
Than the green of little blades of grass
And the green of little leaves?
Is not each leaf a cool green hand,
Is not each blade of grass a mothering green finger,
Hushing the heart that beats and beats and beats?
