POETRY FRIDAY

VARIATIONS ON AN OLD RHYME

John Mole

This is the earth

This is the earth

That welcomes the sun.

This is the earth

That welcomes the sun

That shines for the blackbird that wakes with a song.

This is the snow

That covers the earth

That welcomes the sun

That shines for the the blackbird that wakes with a song.
