A Bird came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass -
And then hopped 1 sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle 2 pass -
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all around -
They looked like frightened Beads 3, I thought -
He stirred his Velvet 4 Head
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb 5
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home -
Than Oars 6 divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam -
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, plashless as they swim.
A typical exemplar for Dickinson's nature verse. This poem depicts 7 the nature's superior self-sufficiency and man's continuous yen 8 to get into the world of nature. At frist, the narrator encounters a bird and looks at it on the walk as a curious observer. Unaware 9 of her existence, the bird eats a worm, drinks a dew from the grass, and steps aside politely to let a beetle pass as a gentleman.
The bird then senses something is not right and looks around as if in fright. And she approaches the bird and offers it a crumb but it flies away. A magnificent sight of grace. The bird’s flight through the air is softer than that of a boat being rowed in a seamless ocean with oars; the oars’ action, like the bird’s wings, are so small and “silver” in the expanse of water and sky, that they do not even leave a “seam” behind to show they once moved through that space. In a final exquisitely 10 lovely image, it is even smoother than the flight of butterflies that jump into the rivers of “Noon” swimming and splashing about.
