MOVING DAY by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER

First Line: WITH WHAT STYLE / THE FINAL EXIT
Last Line: TO EARTH.
Subject(s): MOVING & MOVERS;

With what style
The final exit—
Ever before harried
By the silver candlesticks,
The spare-bed mattress,
And the packing of first editions,
In the dreary progress
From drab doorways—
Now, as a sword from the scabbard,
Away! Not a cob-web to hold
To earth.
