I'VE HEARD MY NEIGHBOR'S PUMP AT NIGHT by HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Or else the squeak of a meadow hen
Subject(s): WELLS; NEIGHBORS;
I've heard my neighbor's pump at night,
Long after Lyra sunk her light,
As if it were a natural sound,
And proper utterance of the ground ''"
Perchance some bittern in a fen ''"
Or else the squeak of a meadow hen.
