Explore "Second April: CITY TREES" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The trees along this city street,
Save for the traffic and the trains,
Would make a sound as thin and sweet / As trees in country lanes.
And people standing in their shade / Out of a shower, undoubtedly / Would hear such music as is made / Upon a country tree.
Oh, little leaves that are so dumb / Against the shrieking city air, / I watch you when the wind has come, -- / I know what sound is there.
