The early lilacs became
part of this
child,
And grass, and white and red morningglories,
and white and red clover, and the
song of the phoebe
bird,
And the March-born lambs, and the sow's
pink-faint litter, and the
mare's
foal, and the cow's calf,
and
the noisy brood of the barnyard
(There was a
Child Went Forth 138)
