I think maybe it didn't get put in the [book]. The one I'm going to --I'll, I'll--I'll just say it. REED: Great. MATCHETT: It's called...
"Old Graveyard: Lane's Island"
Daisies and hawkweed surround the grave
Of Margaret, wife of Benjamin Lane.
Seagulls patrol it, and Tree Swallows glide
Where the out-going stream meets the incoming tide
With a sound like rain.
A white caterpillar crawls over the grave
Of Benjamin Lane's wife, Margaret,
Which is closer to ermine than she ever came,
While the lines on her stone are as close to fame.
You can read them, yet.
A song sparrow sings from a bush by the grave
Of Margaret, wife of Benjamin Lane,
Whose joy was to hear it
Before she died,
Where the outgoing stream meets the incoming tide
With a sound like rain.
Is that not--that's not in here!
I'm surprised to find out it didn't get chosen. (LAUGHS)
