Part Two: Nature
CVI

| THE CRICKET sang, | |
| And set the sun, | |
| And workmen finished, one by one, | |
| Their seam the day upon. | |
| |
| The low grass loaded with the dew, | 5 |
| The twilight stood as strangers do | |
| With hat in hand, polite and new, | |
| To stay as if, or go. | |
| |
| A vastness, as a neighbor, came, | |
| A wisdom without face or name, | 10 |
| A peace, as hemispheres at home, | |
| And so the night became. | |
