...rs of dry needles on the ground,
And dogwood, slopes the settlers terraced; pine
We cut at Christmas, berries, hollies, anise,
And cones for sale in Mister Haymore’s yard
In town, below the Courthouse Square. James Haymore,

Mary Lou Culver taught us English: essays,
Plot summaries, outlines, meters, kinds of clauses

The Song of the Old Guard
