NUTTING by JESSIE FARNHAM

First Line: I NEVER STOOD IN A HICKORY WOOD
Last Line: ARE ENOUGH FOR ME.
Subject(s): NUTS & NUTTING;
I never stood in a hickory wood
Before today,
Nor watched the sun on hickory leaves
Brightly play.

I shall cherish this golden day,
For long I stood,
Watching the sun play hide-and-seek
In the hickory wood.

So entranced I forgot why I came,
I just stood there,
Watching the sun in the hickory leaves;
My sack was bare.

For those graceful leaves were dancing about
In autumnal glee,
And sun-dappled leaves on hickory trces
Are enough for me.
