I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY, by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON First Line: I made my house quite clean today Last Line: And then -- I saw you passing by. Subject(s): Wellesley College | |||
I MADE my house quite clean today, I thought that you might pass this way. I killed the little flying things, The miller moths with dusty wings, -- You would not like their flutterings. I made the house all clean and sweet, Swept out the tracks of dusty feet, And then I gathered holly-hocks And filled a bowl with lady-smocks; I put them there to catch your eye, And then -- I saw you passing by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON |
