Henry David Thoreau
Then spend an age in whetting thy desire
by Henry David Thoreau
Then spend an age in whetting thy desire,
Thou needs't not hasten if thou dost stand fast .

I am bound, I am bound, for a distant shore
Tell me ye wise ones if ye can
I'm not alone
I was born upon thy bank, river
Old meeting-house bell
The Deeds of king and meanest hedger
The Funeral Bell
Far oer The bow
I saw a delicate flower had grown up two feet high
Each summer sound
