The Oven Bird

There is a singer everyone has heard,

Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird, Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again. He says that leaves are old and that for flowers Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten.

He says the early petal-fall is past

When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers On sunny days a moment overcast;

And comes that other fall we name the fall. He says the highway dust is over all.

The bird would cease and be as other birds But that he knows in singing not to sing.

The question that he frames in all but words Is what to make of a diminished thing.

The Pasture

I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.

I’m going out to fetch the little calf

That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.
