A Picture

Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

I strolled last eve across the lonely down;
One solitary picture struck my eye:
A distant ploughboy stood against the sky--
How far he seemed above the noisy town!

Upon the bosom of a cloud the sod
Laid its bruised cheek as he moved slowly by,
And, watching him, I asked myself if I
In very truth stood half as near to God.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Picture
