THE SOUVENIR by ANTOINETTE DE COURSEY PATTERSON

First Line: OF FINEST PORCELAIN AND OF CHOICEST DYE
Last Line: A CHIP FROM THAT BLUE BOWL WE CALL THE SKY!
Subject(s): BIRDS; SHELLS; CONCHOLOGY;
Of finest porcelain and of choicest dye,
This bit of egg shell from a robin's nest;
I thought at first I'd found upon earth's breast
A chip from that blue bowl we call the sky!
