Batu Kurau

The Grass

The grass so little has to do,---

A sphere of simple green

With only butterflies to brood

And bees to entertain.

And stir all day to pretty tunes

The breeze fetch along

And hold sunshine in its lap

And bow to everything.

And thread the dews all night, like pearls

And make itself so fine,---

A duchess was too common

for such a noticing.

And even when it dies, to pass

in odors so devine,

As slowly spices gone to sleep
or emulets of pine.

And then to dwell in sovereign barns,

And dream the days away,---

The grass so little has to do,
I wish I were the hay!

(E Dickinson)
