First lines
A little brown sparrow came tripping Across the green grass at my feet; A kingfisher poised, and was peering Where current and calm water meet;
The clouds hung in passionless clusters Above the green hills of the south; A bobolink fluttered to leeward With a twinkle of bells in its mouth.
