THE SHRIKE, by HENRY DAVID THOREAU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hark -- hark -- from out the thickest fog Last Line: He whistles in his ear. Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
Hark -- hark -- from out the thickest fog Warbles with might and main The fearless shrike, as all agog To find in fog his gain. His steady sail he never furls At any time o' year, And perched now on winter's curls, He whistles in his ear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE CRIPPLE by KARLE WILSON BAKER |
