THOREAU
In Walden, on a deathless page, he bends—
Not caring how the woodland minutes pass—
To weed his double crop of thought and food
While making earth say beans instead of grass.
Not caring how the woodland minutes pass—
To weed his double crop of thought and food
While making earth say beans instead of grass.
Methinks a Spirit, beside the fallen hoe,
Still questions, questions, all the long-loved scenes;
Withdrawn so tensely that he cannot hear
Time making earth say bricks instead of beans.
Still questions, questions, all the long-loved scenes;
Withdrawn so tensely that he cannot hear
Time making earth say bricks instead of beans.
