The sun was setting in a low red sky. On both sides of the road
were rich green meadows intersected by little canal-like brooks.
Beyond the meadows on the west was a distant stretch of pine woods,
that showed dark against the clear sky. Aurelia Flower was going
along the road toward her home, with a great sheaf of leaves and
flowers in her arms. There were the rosy spikes of hardhack; the
great white corymbs of thoroughwort, and the long blue racemes of
lobelia. Then there were great bunches of the odorous tansy and
pennyroyal in with the rest. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
