A Meadow Tragedy

Title:     A Meadow Tragedy
Author: Dora Sigerson Shorter [More Titles by Shorter]

Here's a meadow full of sunshine
Ripe grasses lush and high;
There's a reaper on the roadway,
And a lark hangs in the sky.

There's a nest of love enclosing
Three little beaks that cry;
The reapers in the meadow
And a lark hangs in the sky.

Here's a mead all full of summer,
And tragedy goes by
With a knife amongst the grasses,
And a song up in the sky.

[The end]
Dora Sigerson Shorter's poem: Meadow Tragedy
