March winds wake the trees
out of their winter sleep and
excite sap to flow.
The woods roar and fill
the world with life and bustle –
this season of wind.
The face of nature
lit up by these reflections –
still water in spring.
March 9, 1854
The face of nature
reflected in still open
water in the spring.

The face of nature
lit up by reflections in
still, open water.
March 9, 1854
Colorless as light—
crystal drops of turpentine
reflecting the world.
Listen to the wind
roaring in the woods today,
it sounds further off.
March 9, 1859
It is worthwhile to hear the wind
roar in the woods to-day.
It sounds further off than it is. March 9, 1859

out-of-doors, in its own locality.”
