Never nearer to
partridges drumming to-night --
such space-filling sound.

Sweetness fills the air
reminding me – years ago,
strawberrying times. 
June 13, 1852

All things in this world 
must be seen with the
morning dew on them,
with youthful,
early-opened,
hopeful eyes.

All things must be seen
with morning dew on them and
early-opened eyes.

 I floating homeward
count devil's-needles at rest
on my idle sail.

Out late miles from home
I have felt I was not far
from home after all.

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.
