First Line: Mrs. Earth makes silver black
Last Line: Why, neither knows.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Mrs. Earth makes silver black,
Mrs. Earth makes iron red,
But Mrs. Earth cannot stain gold
Nor ruby red.
Mrs. Earth the slenderest bone,
Whitens in her bosom cold,
But Mrs. Earth can change my dreams
No more than ruby or gold.
Mrs. Earth and Mr. Sun
Can tan my skin, and tire my toes,
But all that I'm thinking of, ever shall think,
Why, neither knows.
