Mrs. Sibley

Edgar Lee Masters

THE secret of the stars — gravitation. The secret of the earth — layers of rock. The secret of the soil — to receive seed. The secret of the seed — the germ.

The secret of man — the sower. The secret of woman — the soil. My secret: Under a mound that you shall never find.
