A Request


Friend, when you stray or sit or take your ease,
on moor, or fell or under spreading trees.

Pray, leave no traces of your wayside meal,
no paper bag, no scattered orange peel.

Nor daily journal littered on the grass,
others may view these with distaste and pass.

Let no one say, and say it to your shame,
that all was beauty here until you came.
