Like Crusoe, Walking By The Lonely Strand Poem by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Like Crusoe, Walking By The Lonely Strand

Rating: 2.8


Like Crusoe, walking by the lonely strand
And seeing a human footprint on the sand,
Have I this day been startled, finding here,
Set in brown mould, and delicately clear,
Spring's footprint--the first crocus of the year!
O sweet invasion! Farewell solitude!
Soon shall wild creatures of the field and wood
Flock from all sides with much ado and stir,
And make of me most willing prisoner!
