Nature Study with Apple and Cherry and Oak
In the work cart I find a luna moth
And is it dead? With gentle hands I lift…
And off it flies! into the sunlit leaves
Breeze-wavy in the pale September sun
Among the apple and cherry and oak
I labor away at summer’s excess
And clear the paths and glades of weatherfall
Sorting out litter to a merry fire
And billets to store for the winter hearth
Sweet gifts of apple and cherry and oak
The bees seem to wonder what I’m about
Sitting awhile, and thinking the summer out
Beneath the apple and cherry and oak
