Afternoon On A Hill

Afternoon on a Hill

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)




I will be the gladdest thing

        Under the Sun!







I will touch a hundred flowers

       And not pick one.





I will look at cliffs and clouds

    With quiet eyes,




Watch the wind bow down the grass,

     And the grass rise.




And when lights begin to show

    Up from the town,




I will mark which must be mine,






And then start down!
