A Farm-Picture


THROUGH the ample open door of the peaceful country barn,
A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding;
And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.

    In his simplicity...Whitman manages to create a vivid landscape, alive with scents and atmosphere...a brilliance underestimated!
