Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours. Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:Īnd sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind ĭrows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Until they think warm days will never cease,įor Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells. With a sweet kernel to set budding more,Īnd still more, later flowers for the bees, To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,Īnd fill all fruit with ripeness to the core

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run
