Oh then, a wreath! Let’s + 

refresh something they + 

used to write well of. + 

Two fern plumes. Strip them + 

to the mid-rib along one side. + 

Bind the tips with a grass stem. + 

Bend and intertwist the stalks + 

at the back. So! + 

Ah! now we are crowned! + 

Now we are a poet! + 

Quickly! + 

A bunch of little flowers + 

for Flossie⁠—the little ones + 

only: + 

a red clover, one + 

blue heal-all, a sprig of + 

bone-set, one primrose, + 

a head of Indian tobacco, this + 

magenta speck and this + 

little lavender! + 

Home now, my mind!⁠— + 

Sonny’s arms are icy, I tell you⁠— + 

and have breakfast! + 
