Out Of Copyright

I found this on the amazing blog-by Maja. It’s in one of her posts but if you see the dates the author lived you can be pretty sure that it’s out of copyright so free for me to copy and use!

Here is the poem, enjoy!

 

But I say unto you,

Take this stuff just as a stuff;
Movement is movement;
Sitting is sitting,
but don’t wobble
under any circumstances!
My stuff has turned into a dragon
and swallowed up the whole world.
Where are the poor mountains and rivers and great earth now?
