Mrs. Earth

________________________________________________
Title:     Mrs. Earth
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

Mrs. Earth makes silver black,
Mrs. Earth makes iron red
But Mrs. Earth can not stain gold,
Nor ruby red.
Mrs. earth the slenderest bone
Whitens in her bosom cold,
But Mrs. Earth can change my dreams
No more than ruby or gold.
Mrs. Earth and Mr. Sun
Can tan my skin, and tire my toes,
But all that I'm thinking of, ever shall think,
Why, either knows.

[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Mrs. Earth
