First Line: Did you ever carry water
Last Line: Upon their bended knees?
Subject(s): Plants; Planting; Planters


Did you ever carry water
To a truck patch on a hill --
On a hot summer evening
When all the earth was still?

Could you hear the faintest crackling
As you poured it on late peas --
As though the parched plants thanked you
Upon their bended knees?
