TREASURES by MARY FRANCES MARTIN

First Line: THESE THINGS ARE MINE: THE WHISPERING OF TREES
Last Line: A RAINBOW ARCH AGAINST THE SKY AFTER A WEEK OF RAIN.
Subject(s): TREASURES;

These things are mine: the whispering of trees
In the still noon, the drone of bees
In clover bloom, the birds' sweet symphonies.
These things are mine: the gold of daffodils,
The silver-purple haze across the hills,
The opalescent tints the sunset spills.
These things are mine: the sheen of ripening grain,
A gray road winding across the open plain,
A rainbow arch against the sky after a week of rain.
