In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.

He moves in darkness as it seems to me,

Not of woods only and the shade of trees.

He will not go behind his father’s saying,

And he likes having thought of it so well

He says again, “Good fences make good neighbors.”

THE TUFT OF FLOWERS

I went to turn the grass once after one

Who mowed it in the dew before the sun.

The dew was gone that made his blade so keen
