The thought of leaving
Left me, by evening.
'I will stay, ' I said, 'to watch the grass grow.
I will remain. When you hear the cricket,
Know that I hear it also, and endure.'
1978
Spare, poignant verse. You say little to say much.The song of your cricket has touched my autumn soul. Warmest regards, Sandra
Dear Will I hear your song...and the cricket's.........both beautiful......by Jiminy...! ! Love, D.
