• To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee

  November 20, 2008 in Nature, Poems

  To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, –
  
  One clover, and a bee,
  
  And revery.
  
  The revery alone will do
  
  If bees are few.

• A WELL.

  What mystery pervades a well!
  
  The water lives so far,
  
  Like neighbor from another world
  
  Residing in a jar.

  The spider as an artist
  
  Has never been employed
  
  Though his surpassing merit
  
  Is freely certified
  
  

  By every broom and Bridget
  
  Throughout a Christian land.
  
  Neglected son of genius,
  
  I take thee by the hand.
  

• High from the earth I heard a bird

  November 13, 2008 in Nature, Poems

  High from the earth I heard a bird;
  
  He trod upon the trees
  
  As he esteemed them trifles,
  
  And then he spied a breeze,
  
  And situated softly
  
  Upon a pile of wind
  
  Which in a perturbation
  
  Nature had left behind.

  A sepal, petal, and a thorn
  
  Upon a common summer’s morn,
  
  A flash of dew, a bee or two,
  
  A breeze
  
  A caper in the trees, –
  
  And I’m a rose!
