A MEMORY by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM

First Line: FOUR DUCKS ON A POND
Last Line: TO REMEMBER WITH TEARS!
Subject(s): DUCKS; SPRING; MALLARDS; DRAKES;

Four ducks on a pond,
A grass-bank beyond,
A blue sky of spring,
White clouds on the wing:
What a little thing
To remember for years--
To remember with tears!
