THE RABBIT LEAPS, by HENRY DAVID THOREAU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: In angry mood Subject(s): Animals; Nature | ||||||||
The Rabbit leaps The mouse outcreeps The flag out-peeps Beside the brook. The ferret weeps The marmot sleeps The owlet keeps In his snug nook. The apples thaw The ravens caw The squirrels gnaw The frozen fruit; To their retreat We track the feet Of mice that eat The apples root. The willows droop The alders stoop The pheasants group Beneath the snow. The catkins green Cast o'er the scene A summer sheen A genial glow. The snow dust falls The otter crawls The partridge calls Far in the wood The traveller dreams The tree-ice gleams The blue jay screams In angry mood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
