Robert Graves - Wild StrawberriesRobert Graves - Wild Strawberries
Work rating: Low


Strawberries that in gardens grow    Are plump and juicy fine, But sweeter far as wise men know    Spring from the woodland vine. No need for bowl or silver spoon,    Sugar or spice or cream, Has the wild berry plucked in June    Beside the trickling stream. One such to melt at the tongue`s root,    Confounding taste with scent, Beats a full peck of garden fruit:    Which points my argument. May sudden justice overtake    And snap the froward pen, That old and palsied poets shake    Against the minds of men. Blasphemers trusting to hold caught    In far-flung webs of ink, The utmost ends of human thought    Till nothing`s left to think. But may the gift of heavenly peace    And glory for all time Keep the boy Tom who tending geese    First made the nursery rhyme.
