A narrow Fellow in the Grass
Occasionally rides--
You may have met Him—did you not
His notice sudden is--
 
The Grass divides as with a Comb--
A spotted shaft is seen--
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on--
 
He likes a Boggy Acre
A Floor too cool for Corn--
Yet when a Boy, and Barefoot--
I more than once at Noon
 
Have passed, I thought, a Whip lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stooping to secure it
It wrinkled, and was gone--
 
Several of Nature’s People
I know, and they know me--
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality--
 
But never met this Fellow
Attended, or alone
Without a tighter breathing
And Zero at the Bone--
