My Purple Gown from Tyre

Benjamin Rosenbaum

PINK azaleas and dogwood

Are crowded close at my feet.

Whitethroats and warblers

Are weaving a trail between the trees

And cobalt-golden sky.

Now I’ll mount Ole Tony and ride

The rolling fields!

Old Ninevah’s riches will be around me,

And my overalls will be

My purple gown from Tyre!
