So runs my litany of lovely things---- That I recite when I need words To cheer my heart and stir my memory— The glow of fireflies through the purple dusk, The fresh earth smell that follows summer rain, The scent of lilacs on a graceful breeze, The orange moon on a beautiful harvest night, With the smell of grain dust on a gust of wind.
