MORAL EMBLEMS II: 2 by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE CAREFUL ANGLER CHOSE HIS NOOK
Last Line: WILL CRAM HIS BELLY FULL OF FISH.
Subject(s): FISH & FISHING;

The careful angler chose his nook
At morning by the lilied brook,
And all the noon his rod he plied
By that romantic riverside.
Soon as the evening hours decline
Tranquilly he'll return to dine,
And breathing forth a pious wish,
Will cram his belly full of fish.
