ON THE SUN COMING OUT IN THE AFTERNOON by HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Poet Analysis

First Line: METHINKS ALL THINGS HAVE TRAVELLED SINCE YOU SHINED
Last Line: BUT IN THE SHADE I WILL BELIEVE WHAT IN THE SUN I LOVED.
Subject(s): SUN;
Methinks all things have travelled since you shined,
But only Time, and clouds, Time's team, have moved;
Again foul weather shall not change my mind,
But in the shade I will believe what in the sun I loved.
