Of Brussels—it was not Emily Dickinson

602

Of Brussels—it was not
Of Kidderminster? Nay
The Winds did buy it of the Woods
They—sold it unto me

It was a gentle price
The poorest—could afford
It was within the frugal purse
Of Beggar—or of Bird

Of small and spicy Yards
In hue—a mellow Dun
Of Sunshine—and of Sere—Composed
But, principally—of Sun

The Wind—unrolled it fast
And spread it on the Ground
Upholsterer of the Pines—is He
Upholsterer—of the Pond
