Now I've been three days <br />In the place where I am staying, <br />I've taken up new ways— <br />Land-owning and flute playing. <br />There's an orchard ground <br />Seen, that set me sighing. <br />Should I give ten pounds, <br />It is mine for the buying. <br />With the door set wide, <br />I could sit there playing, <br />Send the magic notes <br />Through the gully straying. <br />Since the roof is sound <br />And the trees are growing, <br />I will give ten pounds, <br />All my gold bestowing. <br />Now I've been three days <br />In the place where I am staying, <br />I've taken up new ways— <br />Land-owning and flute playing.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/now-i-ve-been-three-days/
