| 104. Tall Nettles |
| TALL nettles cover up, as they have done | |
| These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough | |
| Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: | |
| Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. | |
| This corner of the farmyard I like most: | 5 |
| As well as any bloom upon a flower | |
| I like the dust on the nettles, never lost | |
| Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. |
