Put your Glad-Rags On by Jenny Middleton

Painting by Alexander Roslin  (1718–1793)
PUT YOUR GLAD-RAGS ON

Wear your mother’s black velvet stole
like an unruined autumn day
sung of in poems — make them real.
Wear your mother’s black velvet stole—
It’s your turn, your spell to extoll
to ward away work’s drudgery
wear your mother’s black velvet stole
like an unruined autumn day.
