Walk, and grass seeds cling to your hem; sit down, and grass seeds cling again. No matter how you brush them off, there is no end to it. It feels almost like a small greeting from the grass to one who crosses the autumn fields. With the rhythm of walking itself, this well-known poem all but invites you to hum it aloud.
