Explore "If I should Ever by Chance" by Edward Thomas on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If I should ever by chance grow rich I'll buy Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo, and Lapwater, And let them all to my elder daughter.
The rent I shall ask of her will be only Each year's first violets, white and lonely, The first primroses and orchises -- She must find them before I do, that is.
But if she finds a blossom on furze Without rent they shall all for ever be hers, Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo and Lapwater -- I shall give them all to my elder daughter.
