Nature rarer uses yellow


Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,--
Prodigal of blue,

Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover's words.

    i love e.d. i went to her home in my youth on a family vacation and bought what became my favorite t-shirt for some time. the poem that was something like "i felt my life with both my hands to see if it was there."
