On Our Farm

Laura Sherry

INDIAN BRUCE and Big Charlie and Bohemian John have gone,

And boys with white tender hands and weak backs

Are cleaning the cow-sheds and tossing the hay.

I wonder—over there—

If Big Charlie still wears a sprig of green in his hat,

If Bohemian John’s pipe has been shot away,

And if Indian Bruce sings his weird lullabies

Coming home in the twilight.
