A WEED 
Because I scatter my seed 
Prodigally, and grew 
"Where the wind has chanced to blow, 
You call me a weed. 
I look at your gardens fair, 
With flowers in stately rows, 
And my wild, little seed heart knows 
I never could be happy there. 
My mother was gypsy born. 
My father a roving bee, 
There is vagabond blood in me, 
I am not to be trained and shorn. 
I am poor and mean indeed. 
But I make the waste place glad, 
!^nd the wayside color-mad. 
Where there is room for a weed. 
-From The Enchanted Years. 
LOUISE DRISCOLL.
