A THOUSAND TIMES by FLORIAA WATTS SMYTH

First Line: LOVELY ARE LITTLE HILLS WHERE YOUNG GRASS CLIMBS
Last Line: BUT I BEND CLOSER TO EACH GRANDDAUGHTER.
Subject(s): GRANDCHILDREN; GRANDSONS; GRANDDAUGHTERS;

Lovely are little hills where young grass climbs,
Where the wind runs over a thousand times.

Lovely as wind on grass, like flowing waters,
Are the running feet of my granddaughters.

Working in the rose bed I hear a sound
And turn to watch their shadows skim the ground.

They have caught me close as wind and water,
But I bend closer to each granddaughter.
