English poem
Keeping Store
by Mary F. Butts (1836–1902)
We have bags and bags of whitest down Out of the milk-weed pods; We have purple asters in lovely heaps, And stacks of golden-rods—
We have needles out of the sweet pine woods, And spools of cobweb thread; We have bachelors' buttons for dolly's dress, And hollyhock caps for her head.
