CABIN AT TARLETON, by NELLIE HURLBURT WHITNEY
First Line: The cabin drowsed in calm content
Last Line: But undisturbed, we drowsed in turn.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
First Line: The cabin drowsed in calm content
Last Line: But undisturbed, we drowsed in turn.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
The cabin drowsed in calm content
After winter's imprisonment;
Windows blinked and doors yawned wide
As long-closed shutters were pushed aside
To let the musty odors loose
And welcome scent of balsam and spruce.
Far away a loon complained
Its wailing by the wind sustained,
Then the cabin came awake
And stood on guard by the whispering lake,
Murmurs rose from tree and fern,
But undisturbed, we drowsed in turn.
