'Mid My Gold-brown Curls

by George Eliot

 

'Mid my gold-brown curls

There twined a silver hair:

I plucked it idly out

And scarcely knew 'twas there.

Coiled in my velvet sleeve it lay

And like a serpent hissed:

"Me thou canst pluck and fling away,

 One hair is lightly missed;

 But how on that near day

 When all the wintry army muster in array?"

'Mid My Gold-brown Curls
by George Eliot


I used to worry about those little gray things on my head
'twas a waste of time
cause now my golden locks have turned
to silver in time and their all mine

Sky-Mountain



Prairie-land is golden,
Airy, wide;
The sky our only mountain;
We, inside.
Who would choose a small land
Where the hills
Steadily asserting
Granite wills,
Narrow all horizons,
Stand apart?
Ah, my Kansas prairie
In the sky-mountain's heart!

__May Williams Ward.

Good morning, Sam.

Nice poem this morning "Sky-Mountain."

Wish I could have seen the Kansas prairie last fall, didn't go into Kansas far enough.


Sorry I can't hear the tunes. I hope others can. Coffee and donuts are good. Thanks Sam.

I have some back-up sites, it's just that the selections aren't as numerous.

Hi, everyone .. hope you are having a great Monday!

The Years
Sarah Teasdale

To-night I close my eyes and see
A strange procession passing me --
The years before I saw your face
Go by me with a wistful grace;
They pass, the sensitive, shy years,
As one who strives to dance, half blind with tears.

The years went by and never knew
That each one brought me nearer you;
Their path was narrow and apart
And yet it led me to your heart --
Oh, sensitive, shy years, oh, lonely years,
That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.

The Years
