A cock pheasant crowing in Tyndall's ravine! Not more pleasant the creek's career... bitter-sweet, alders, red-haw, maples... Octobers's smoke-sheer atmosphere... No...none more pleasant of autumn terrain, than you, pretty ring-neck, of chanticleer sheen! Crow! Lovely bird, from your mauve review... iron-weed, asters, sycamore glade... Flap! Strut! Ecstatic mate calling, defying Nimrod's deadly bead. Flash! Eden's lost scene anew... one undefiled moment...alas, adieu! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PORTRAIT OF A MACHINE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER HAWORTH CHURCHYARD by MATTHEW ARNOLD ODES III, 29 by QUINTUS HORATIUS FLACCUS THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 11.
