On The Grassy Banks

by Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti

On the grassy banks
Lambkins at their pranks;
Woolly sisters, woolly brothers
Jumping off their feet
While their woolly mothers
Watch by them and bleat.

    Everybody Who is Dead
    by Frank Stanford
    When a man knows another man Is looking for him He doesn’t hide. He doesn’t wait To spend another night With his wife Or put his children to sleep.
