In a Corn-field
From Lincoln & Other Poems (1901)
Social Commentaries
Who was it passed me, his body a-throbbing?
Who but Sir Humblebee home from his robbing!
What is that crackle of chariots whirling?
‘Tis Cricket Achilles where green smoke is curling.
And who is it comes on the bloom-ocean steering?
Bold Dragonfly Cortez, a-tacking and veering!
