Talk To Your Vegetables
Garden Poem of the Day
A Summer Day
By Eva Willes Wangsgaard
I'd save one day forever if I could:
The sky was blue as hyacinths which bent
Their stars above the marshes near a wood
Where cattle browsed, releasing spearmint scent.
A flock of blackbirds found a willow tree,
Their bodies ebon leaves on willow lace;
The children left their play and came to me,
And every minnow found a shadowed place.
Then suddenly the black leaves burst in song;
Soprano arias and choral parts
Wove such an opera as can belong
Only to open air and grateful hearts
Bursting with summer and the joy it yields
Over the luscious, mellowing barley fields.
