TALL nettles cover up, as they have done <br />These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough <br />Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: <br />Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. <br /> <br />This corner of the farmyard I like most: <br />As well as any bloom upon a flower <br />I like the dust on the nettles, never lost <br />Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.<br /><br />Edward Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tall-nettles/
