Classic and Contemporary Poetry

LAGGARD by MARGARET WIDDEMER

First Line: MY MIND IS VERY SWIFT AND GAY
Last Line: BESIDE A LOW GREEN HILL.
Subject(s): MEMORY;
My mind is very swift and gay;
She flutters to and fro,
She knows a thousand things to play,
A thousand roads to go;

But oh, my heart will never play —
She sits and watches still
A stone she saw them set one day
Beside a low green hill.
