Hilda Conkling

You have run about the field, As other field-mice will run about When another century has come Like a cloud.

I WONDERED AND WONDERED

I wondered and wondered . . .

I saw a comrade of mine; It was a wave smooth and blue That tossed . . . fell away. I wondered and wondered . . .

I saw a mountain white with old age: I could not remember How I came there. I wondered and wondered . Under a motherly sky That knew my name and kind, That rested my tired thoughts, That said, "I have a rainbow for you, Hilda, And a young moon, hidden."
