Leaves of Grass
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass,
gently borne upon the water.
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass
struck by a wave and sunk.
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass,
drinking rain the long night through.
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass
dry from thirsting for one drop.
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass
rocking in the softest wind.
Sometimes I am a leaf of grass
trampled roughly underfoot!
