III could find that little poem,
With the daintiest sort Of proem,
Which the poet Squirrel made
On Q leaf that would not fade,
And silly hid, one dGrksOme night,
BY the wicked glow-worm's light
1t was all about Thoreau-
How the squirrels loved him so,
Since, whenever he went walking,
he would stop TO hear their talking,
Oftsn smiling when they chartered,
Or their brown nuts downward battered:
Nay, could | but find that bird
Who told me once that she had hesrd
Robins, wrens, and others tell
How he knew their language well,
And how he turned, q thousand times,
Birdie into English rhymes!
In his native Walden-wood
He was our modern Robin Hood
Had he not full many an arrow
Piercing to the very marrow
Satire, Wit, Philosophy,
And all the Sciences that bc'
He was skilled in every herb
Wherewith to temper well the barb,
And not bird upon the heather
But had gladly lent his feather.
Then woe, Che "pronde shsrWe," alas
Ii ne in his way Glanced to pass;
And woe, alas, the "Pr0ade potter
Should be drive near Walden water.
In New-England, scarce spot
Where his merry men were not;
They loved no better sound 10 hear
Than when his bugle-horn rang clear
On "dale and dOwne," or "hlle5 hee.'
" All under tho guide greenwood tree"
i heard il once on Marlborough road
Where oft at mOuing-tidc, he wode.-
Sometimes ] seem TO see him stand
Between the rainbow and the land,
Surveying with his tranquil eye
The varied scenes which pass him by;
Anon, at Autumn's highest noon,
Careering with the haryest-moon;
And when the Old Year, sick to death
Scantly draws his frosty breath,
/ see him wasted thin az air,
Keeping his lone vigil there;
Bat oh, when early grass doth spring,
And fresh binds burst and green woods 7Ing
Give me bis cyes, that may sec
All the beauty that shall be.
lie could give the blessed reasons
Why the flowers came in their seasons;
Nay, he kennel the pedigree
o. tie red rose and the "white lilie!"
Run" he said, land you shall find
Just the stalk that suits your raind
Yet another day and half
Go yon where the brooklets laugh,
And seek tbs other in high grass;
But do not c-ush it az you pass!
All, but stop, ii you should see,
Under some old rock or tree,
A purple, wee thing, most Ike this
L lie book here, bring lido not miss;
For this same flower, before to-morrQw,
You can neither beg nor borrow !"
Have ] not beheld where stood
Between the water and the wood,
That famous cot which be, the cotter,
Reared, one day, near Walden waterl
Have ] not beheld that boat
Which beareth Ralph, the seer, a3oat--
A common bark before he enters,
An argosy when him it ventures -
And, now, if out Of Deaths grim portal,
Part Of US doth step, immortal,
Then why may not our blessed cotter
Still revisit Walden water,
And etill conduct that wondrous boat
Which beareth Ralph, the seer, afoat
