WHERE I WOULD BE LIVING
(By Margaret Widdemer) Where I would be living is a low green mountain With high trees that ruffle close along the road I’d go, To tulips waving mauve and red around a small stone fountain, And narrow paths with muttering pigeons treading to and fro. W'here I would be walking there are garden edges All of waving columbines and mignonette grown high, And figures of shaped box that ride the high green hedges Nodding like an odd dream against the cloudy sky. Where I would be waiting is a low green doorway Beyond a stone-walled orchard-garth where apple-blossoms foam, Till your foot should ring at dusk upon its grey-flagged floorway Till your hand should lift the latch, and you come home.
