Hickory and walnut, the thicket's mass, Pennyroyal and sassafras; And giant boles lift to a bluer sky Near hidden waters running by, Where great oaks hold the demesne in fee And the wild grape swings out fitfully. Wild plums climb up the bank's steep fall To the creek's clear ford, and woodbirds call With the woodland breath, loam-fresh, sun-sweet, Thro' open glades to splashing feet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE FINDS THE MANSION by JAMES MCMICHAEL BY DIFFERENT PATHS by MARVIN BELL DRIVING HOME by MADELINE DEFREES ART IS PARALLEL TO NATURE by CLARENCE MAJOR HIGHWAY 2, ILLINOIS by LISEL MUELLER COMING HOME by ELIZABETH SEWELL HILL |
