Afternoon on a Hill
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
3I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
5I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
7Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
9And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
11I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
