SALMON BROOK by HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Poet Analysis

Last Line: May they still endure?
Subject(s): WATER;
Salmon Brook,
Penichook,
Ye sweet waters of my brain,
When shall I look,
Or cast the hook,
In your waves again?

Silver eels,
Wooden creels,
These the baits that still allure,
And dragon-fly
That floated by,
May they still endure?
