for Christopher Smart <br /> <br />When winter was half over <br />God sent three angels to the <br /> apple-tree <br />Who said to her <br />"Be glad, you little rack <br />Of empty sticks, <br />Because you have been chosen. <br /> <br />In May you will become <br />A wave of living sweetness <br />A nation of white petals <br />A dynasty of apples." <br /> <br /> <br />Anonymous submission.<br /><br />Katherine Anne Porter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-sarah/
