Through wood or open field, the harmless Man

Departs, intent upon his onward quest!—

Nor is that Fellow-wanderer, so deem I,

Less to be envied, (you may trace him oft

By scars which his activity has left

Beside our roads and pathways, though, thank Heaven!

This covert nook reports not of his hand)

He who with pocket-hammer smites the edge

Of luckless rock or prominent stone, disguised

In weather-stains or crusted o'er by Nature
