A Trivial Day in Early Autumn /
Pearl Andelson Sherry


A Trivial Day in Early Autumn

from Worker in Marble

A China lily cup
Upon a pool
Lifts up
Its bowl.

Over the pale sky
Frail clouds;
A butterfly
About the garden flowers.

Subtle
The wind
Among
The falling leaves.

~~
Pearl Andelson Sherry (1899-1966)
from Poetry, December 1922
