To a Poor Old Woman

　　 by William Carlos Williams

　　 munching a plum on

　　 the street a paper bag

　　 of them in her hand

　　 They taste good to her

　　 They taste good to her.

　　 They taste good to her

　　 You can see it by

　　 the way she gives herself to the one half

　　 sucked out in her hand

　　 Comforted a solace of ripe plums

　　 seeming to fill the air

　　 They taste good to her
