Farm Morning
Sitting hens stir from their nests, An arrogant young rooster tosts His morning voice, flaunts his feathers In the sun; the fanner tethers A spottc dealt, awkward and sprawling. Spiders industrious./ are walling Themselves in silver latticed rooms. Birds wings cross the tapgled looms Of shadowed leaves, stems and branches. Tho dripping black fence dries and blanches In tho early sun, and wet roofs steam. We have a jug of yellow cream Fresh from the dairy, a bowl of butter. 0 lift the window, fling the shutter, Flood the kitchen with sunny light, The rain is over and gone with the night! —Ruth Langland Holberg.
