MY MEMORY LANE by LULU MINERVA SCHULTZ

First Line: I KNOW A LANE WHERE SHADOWS FALL
Last Line: A BOY WALKS THERE -- BUT WITH A CANE.
Subject(s): MEMORY; ROADS; WALKING; PATHS; TRAILS;
I know a lane where shadows fall
From twisted elms, that once were tall.

There was a road that lightly wound
Between the elms -- now on the ground
The black-eyed Susans romp around.

A sagging house droops in the lane.
A boy walks there -- but with a cane.
