I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY, by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON First Line: I made my house quite clean today Last Line: And then -- I saw you passing by. Subject(s): Wellesley College | |||
I MADE my house quite clean today, I thought that you might pass this way. I killed the little flying things, The miller moths with dusty wings, -- You would not like their flutterings. I made the house all clean and sweet, Swept out the tracks of dusty feet, And then I gathered holly-hocks And filled a bowl with lady-smocks; I put them there to catch your eye, And then -- I saw you passing by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON AN EXPATIATION ON THE COMBINING OF WEATHERS AT THIRTY .... by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
