Surveying the Brooks farm.
The air is full of the odor of apple blossoms.
The meadow smells sweet as you go along low places in the road at sundown.
I hear the pea-wai, the tender note. Is it not the small pewee?
To-night I hear many crickets. They have commenced their song. They bring in the summer.
Walking home from surveying, the fields are just beginning to be reddened with sorrel.
To-night I hear many crickets. . . .See May 24, 1857 ("Hear the first cricket as I go through a warm hollow, bringing round the summer with his everlasting strain.") See also April 14, 1852; May 22, 1854
I hear the pea-wai, the tender note. See May 26, 1857 ("Wood pewee.") See also April 14, 1852 (" I do not hear those peculiar tender die-away notes from the pewee yet. Is it another pewee, or a later note?"); May 17. 1853 ("I hear the wood pewee, — pe-a-wai. The heat of yesterday has brought him on."); May 17, 1854 ("Hear the wood pewee, the warm weather sound. "); May 19, 1856 ("Wood pewee. "); May 22, 1854 ("I hear also pe-a-wee pe-a-wee, and then occasionally pee-yu, the first syllable in a different and higher key emphasized, — all very sweet and naive and innocent"); May 23, 1854 ("The wood pewee sings now in the woods behind the spring in the heat of the day (2 p. m.), sitting on a low limb near me, pe-a-wee, pe-a-wee, etc., five or six times at short and regular intervals, looking about all the while, and then, naively, pee-a-oo, emphasizing the first syllable, and begins again. . . ."); May 25, 1855 ("Wood pewee. "); May 24, 1859 ("Hear the wood pewee."); May 24, 1860 ("Hear a wood pewee.") and A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, the Eastern Wood-Pewee
