POPLARS by HILDA CONKLING

First Line: THE POPLARS BOW FORWARD AND BACK;
Last Line: COOL IN THE WATER.

THE poplars bow forward and back;
They are like a fan waving very softly.
They tremble,
For they love the wind in their feathery branches.
They love to look down at the shallows,
At the mermaids
On the sandy shore;
They love to look into morning's face
Cool in the water.
