There will come soft rains and the smell of ______ ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And ______ in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum ______ in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
______ their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one ______ know of the war, not one
Will care at ______ when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither ______ nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, ______ she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we ______ gone.
