Larkin – Modesties
Words as plain as hen-birds’ wings
Do not lie,
Do not over-broider things –
Are too shy.Thoughts that shuffle round like pence
Through each reign,
Wear down to their simplest sense
Yet remain.Weeds are not supposed to grow
But by degrees
Some achieve a flower, although
No one sees.
