MOVING DAY, by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER
First Line: With what style / the final exit
Last Line: To earth.

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.
