Nor could I find the square Depression of a cellar anywhere, And so I tramped on further, to survey Amazing patterns in a hornbeam spray Or spirals in a pine cone, under trees Not subject to our stiff geometries..
I looked to see if ancient wheels had made Old ruts to which the trees ran parallel, But there were none, so far as I could tell- There\'d been no roadway.
In Trackless Woods In trackless woods, it puzzled me to find Four great rock maples seemingly aligned, As if they had been set out in a row Before some house a century ago, To edge the property and lend some shade.
It will serve as the most referenced trove of this beloved poet\'s best verses for many years to come.
