First Line: Back to back with the still, old earth
Last Line: I -- in my sunshine and doubt?
Subject(s): Wellesley College
BACK to back with the still, old earth,
I lie in the sun and muse;
The wave of the grass, the call of the birds,
Not a sound, not a scent I lose.
But they, on the other side, lie still,
Nor feel that the sun is out;
With their endless rest what have I to do, --
I -- in my sunshine and doubt?
