Poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Little Cares


The little cares that fretted me  
      I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
      Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds,
      The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
      The humming of the bees.  

The foolish fears of what may happen,
      I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
      Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn
      Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born,
      Out in the fields with God
