Subject(s): Grass
That's a merciless name to call
Ten grasses standing by themselves,
With flowers so ethereal
They would not make a grove for elves,
Becomes a vase, veined with their glass --
With stems between whose slightness air
A scythe were less for them to bear
Than to be called a clump of grass.
