The Gardener in Haying-Time
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
I had a gardener. I had him until haying-time.
In having-time they set him pitching hay.
I had two gardeners. I had them until haying-time.
In haying-time they set them pitching hay.
I had three gardeners. I had them until haying-time.
—Can life go on this way?
