SPARKLING DROP OF WATER by HILDA CONKLING

First Line: THE SUN SHONE, / ALL WAS STILL
Last Line: ANY MORE.

THE sun shone,
All was still.
The sun made one sparkle in one drop
Before it fell
Down into the mossy green
That was the grass.
It lay there silent
A long time.
The sun went, the moon came,
Again one sparkle in the grass!
Day then night, sun then moon,
Year in, year out,
So it went on with its life
For several years
Until at last it was never heard of
Any more.
