"Afternoon on a Hill" by Edna St. Vincent Millay

  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!


I know that you're supposed to put your own work in blogs and I shall but I just love this poem and don't want to forget it.
