THE CHIPMUNK, by HERMAN MELVILLE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Heart of autumn! / weather meet Last Line: From our hearth! Subject(s): Chipmunks | |||
Heart of autumn! Weather meet, Like to sherbert Cool and sweet. Stock-still I stand, And him I see Prying, peeping From Beech-tree; Crickling, crackling Gleefully! But, affrighted By wee sound, Presto! vanish -- Whither bound? So did Baby, Crowing mirth E'en as startled By some inkling Touching Earth, Flit (and whither?) From our hearth! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHIPMUNK by JACK PRELUTSKY THE ELF CHILD by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHIPMUNKS by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG CHIPMUNK by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE CHIPMUNK'S DAY by RANDALL JARRELL LITTLE CHARLIE CHIPMUNK by HELEN COWLES LE CRON FORMERLY A SLAVE' (AN IDEALIZED PORTRAIT, BY E.
