AUGUST, by MABLE BANKS PIPER
First Line: White clouds, blue skies
Last Line: When she finds her first gray hair.
Subject(s): August
First Line: White clouds, blue skies
Last Line: When she finds her first gray hair.
Subject(s): August
White clouds, blue skies,
Insects droning in the grass,
Yellow butterflies and smoky lavender;
Nodding golden rod,
Asters white and purple,
And here and there against the hillside
A bright leaf,
Which smites the heart with sadness
Such as a woman feels
When she finds her first gray hair.
