Under the Tree by Elizabeth Madox Roberts I saw a shadow on the ground And heard a bluejay going by; A shadow went across the ground, And I looked up and saw the sky. It hung up on the poplar tree, But while I looked it did not stay; It gave a tiny sort of jerk And moved a little bit away. And farther on and farther on It moved and never seemed to stop. I think it must be tied with chains And something pulls it from the top. It never has come down again, And everytime I look to see, The sky is always slipping back And getting far away from me THE CORNFIELD I went across the pasture lot When not a one was watching me. Away beyond the cattle barns I climbed a little crooked tree. And I could look down on the field And see the corn and how it grows Across the world and up and down In very straight and even rows. And far away and far away- I wonder if the farmer man Knows all about the corn and how It comes together like a fan.
