Beans Green and Yellow
By Mary Oliver
In fall it is mushrooms
gathered from dampness
under the pines:
in spring I have known
the taste of the lamb
full of milk and spring grass;
today it is beans green and yellow
and lettuce and basil from my friends’ garden-
how calmly, as though it were an ordinary thing,
we eat the blessed earth.
