Emily Dickinson
“A Bird Came Down The Walk”
Bird came down the Walk—He did not know I saw—He bit an Angleworm in halvesAnd ate the fellow, raw,
And then he drank a DewFrom a convenient Grass—And then hopped sidewise to the WallTo let a Beetle pass—
He glanced with rapid eyesThat hurried all around—They looked like frightened Beads, I thought—He stirred his Velvet Head
Like one in danger, Cautious,I offered him a CrumbAnd he unrolled his feathersAnd rowed him softer home—
Than Oars divide the Ocean,Too silver for a seam—Or Butterflies, off Banks of NoonLeap, plashless as they swim.
