FORESTER by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: HE TOOK THE COLOR OF HIS VEST
Last Line: SO WALKS THE WOODMAN, UNESPIED.
Subject(s): LUMBER & LUMBERING; WOODSMEN;
He took the color of his vest
From rabbit's coat or grouse's breast;
For, as the wood-kinds lurk and hide,
So walks the woodman, unespied.
