Read the following excerpt from after the winter by Claude McKay.

And we will seek the quiet hill Where towers the cotton tree,
and leaps on the laughing crystal roll,
and works the droning bee.
And we will build a cottage there beside an open glade,
with black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near,
and ferns that never fade.
