A Book of the Seasons: April 15.


April 15.

To be on waters
smooth and full of reflections
this still cloudy day.
April 15, 1855


The sound of church bells
heard with the song of the birds.
Song of the villages.
April 15, 1855



The warm wood-side rings
at this season with the jingle
of the pine warbler.
April 15, 1859



We always expect
warmer weather than we have
at this time of year.
April 15, 1860

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
