Steel watering-can, you lay still
For summer has left you lonely
And autumn breezes in lightly
With patter-the rain embracing
Your metallic face glistened, and tear-stained.
Perenials have blossomed to bid you farewell,
Maple leaves, once greenly,
Aged and waved adieu
Oh, solemn cherry branches remain,
Awaiting a blanket of white snowflakes.
So hide away, steel watering-can.
That you may see them again
Your shiny flawless metallic coat,
Have rusted with wisdom
From laying out and waiting for spring in vain.
