But none, magic country, like thee!
Where the palm and the pine—love and duty—
Are friends from the hills to the sea.
—From “Dreams of Hellas.”
IN BLOSSOM TIME
By Ina Coolbrith
It’s O my heart, my heart,
To be out in the sun and sing—
To sing and shout in the fields about,
In the balm and the blossoming!
