A 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, splashless as they swim.
