Crickets On A Strike

Title:     Crickets On A Strike
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

The foolish queen of fairyland
From her milk-white throne in a lily-bell,
Gave command to her cricket-band
To play for her when the dew-drops fell.

But the cold dew spoiled their instruments
And they play for the foolish queen no more.
Instead those sturdy malcontents
Play sharps and flats in my kitchen floor.

[The end]
Vachel Lindsay's poem: Crickets On A Strike
