The Poem:

I will be the gladdest thing
     Under the sun!
 I will touch a hundred flowers
     And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds
     With quiet eyes,
 Watch the wind bow down the grass,
     And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show
     Up from the town,
 I will mark which must be mine,
     And then start down!
