REQUITAL by RUTH INSCHO

First Line: A FORTNIGHT AGO, A THIEF PLUNDERED MY ZINNIAS
Last Line: SPILLED ON THE MAPLES THAT BRIGHTEN THE HILL
Subject(s): GOLD;
A fortnight ago, a thief plundered my zinnias,
Robbing their gold and their scarlet at will.
Today, I found all of the gay, flaming color
Spilled on the maples that brighten the hill
