By the Wild-haired Corn
By Mary Oliver
I don’t know
if the sunflowers
are angels always
but surely sometimes.
Who, even in heaven
wouldn’t want to wear,
for awhile,
such a seed-face
and brave spine,
a coat of leaves
with so many pockets –
and who wouldn’t want
to stand for a summer day,
in the hot fields,
in the only country
of the wild-haired corn?
This much I know
when I see the bright
stars of their faces,
when I’m strolling nearby,
I grow soft in my speech,
and soft in my thoughts,
and I remember how everything will be
everything else,
by and by.
