In August, the Large Masses of Berries
by Henry David Thoreau
In August,
the large masses of berries, which,
when in flower,
had attracted many wild bees,
gradually assumed their bright velvety crimson hue,
and by their weight again
bent down and broke their tender limbs.

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
