THYME, by ALICE E. STALLINGS First Line: I have some of it still Alternate Author Name(s): Stallings, A. E. Subject(s): Thyme | |||
I have some of it still, We gathered on the hill, In an empty glass, the bunch of wild thyme, Faded now, and dried, But in which yet abide Some purple, a smell of summer in its prime, When we stopped the car Bought honey in a jar At a roadside stand. It makes me think about The theft of bloom, the sting, A swiftness on the wing, Things that sweetness cannot be without. Copyright © A.E.
