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
