The Pear Tree

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

  


The Pear TreeAnna Ancher, Pear Tree in Front Yard

  In this squalid, dirty dooryard, Where the chickens scratch and run, White, incredible, the pear tree Stands apart and takes the sun, Mindful of the eyes upon it, Vain of its new holiness, Like the waste-man’s little daughter In her first communion dress.
