till the strength of the beast was o'ertested;
then the man would carry him miles on the road
till neddy was pretty well rested.
the moon rising solemnly over the crest
of the hills to the east of my station
displayed her broad disk to the darkening west
like a visible new creation.
and i thought of a joke and i laughed till i cried
of an idle young woman who tarried
about a church-door for a look at the bride,
although 'twas herself that was married.
to poets all nature is pregnant with grand
ideas -- with thought and emotion.
i pity the dunces who don't understand
the speech of earth, heaven and ocean.
