THE MORNING GLORY, by ANONYMOUS First Line: The morning glory climbs above my head Last Line: My heart lays down its load Subject(s): Hearts;love | |||
THE morning glory climbs above my head, Pale flowers of white and purple, blue and red. I am disquieted. Down in the withered grasses something stirred; I thought it was his footfall that I heard. Then a grasshopper chirred. I climbed the hill just as the new moon showed, I saw him coming on the southern road. My heart lays down its load.
