Behind the House is the Millet Plot

BEHIND the house is the millet plot,

And past the millet, the stile;

And then a hill where melilot

Grows with wild camomile.

There was a youth who bade me goodby

Where the hill rises to meet the sky.

I think my heart broke; but I have forgot

All but the smell of the white melilot.
