Beautiful in various dyes:
The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
The yellow beech, the sable yew,
The slender fir that taper grows,
The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”

Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,

be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
