The Morning Reading: "Who shall hear of us in the time to come?"



Love Song
by William Carlos Williams

Sweep the house clean,
hang fresh curtains
in the windows
put on a new dress
and come with me!
The elm is scattering
its little loaves
of sweet smells
from a white sky!
Who shall hear of us
in the time to come?
Let him say there was
a burst of fragrance
from black branches.

Sounds like party preparations!

It makes we want to run out the door and throw leaves in the air!
