Part 2 — AFTER
Reading edition
Oh, the littles that remain! Scent of mint out in the lane; Flare of window, sound of bees;— These, but these.
Three times sitting down to bread; One time climbing up to bed; Table-setting o'er and o'er; Drying herbs for winter's store; This thing; that thing;—nothing more.
But just now out in the lane, Oh, the scent of mint was plain!
Lizette Woodworth Reese [1856-1935]
