HEDGE, by                    
First Line: I have a hedge; to passers by
Last Line: Around a bit of kansas lawn.
Subject(s): Hedges


I have a hedge; to passers by
It's just a boundary, but to me
It spells a meager recompense
For storied lands I'll never see.

Always in books I lived and rode
With hunter, horn, lean hounds, and fox
Through meadows bound with English hedge --
Past gardens framed in yew or box.

Though England I may never see,
Nor hear the lark's clear call at dawn,
Yet I've a hedgerow neatly clipped
Around a bit of Kansas Lawn.
