First Line: If I should make no poems any more

Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.

Subject(s): Leisure


If I should make no poems any more
There would be rest at least, so let it be;
Time to read books in other tongues and listen
To the long mellow thunder of the sea.

The year will turn for me, I shall delight in
All animals, and some of my own kind,
Sharing with no one but myself the frosty
And half ironic musings of my mind.
