Henry Thoreau lived at Walden Pond
of the woods and waters he was fond
In the grass drops of dew/ on the bush berries blue
in the patch the hoed bean he grew
Ralph Emerson was Henry's best friend
to the souls and spirits he would tend
In the church a Hindoo/ on the path a plains Sioux
in The Dial the sunlight he drew
Henry Thoreau lived at Walden Pond
of the woods and waters he was fond
In the air songbirds flew/ on the wind birch barks blew
in the trees leafed in green he knew
