way the editor feels when he does up
his sentiments in blank verse: Il
would flee from the city's rule and
law-from his fashion and forms cut
loose-and 60 where the strawber-
ries grow on its straw and the goose
berry grows on its goose where the
catnip tree is climbed by the cat as
she clutches for her prey-the guile
less and unsuspecting rat on the rat
tan bush at play will catch with
ease the saffron COW and the cowlet
in their glee; as they leap in joy
from bough to bough on the top of
cowslip tree and the list while the
partridge drums his drum and the
woodchuck chucks his wood, and the
dog devours the dogwood plum in
the primitive solitude.
20, let me drink from the moss
grown pump that was hewn from the
pumpkin tree! Eat mush and milk
from the rural stump, from the folly
and fashion free--new gathered
mush from the mushroom vine, and
milk from the mllkweed sweet--with
pine apple from the pine. And then
to the whitewashed dairy I'll turn
where the dairymaid FASTENED HES,
her ruddy and golden-red butter to
churn from the milk Of the butter
flies; and I'll rise at morn with the
earliest bird, to the fragrant farm
yard pass, and watch while the farm
er turns his herd Of grasshoppers out
to grass"
