A bird came down the walk  -  Emily Dickinson

 

 

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 sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.

 

 

He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all around;
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head

 

 

Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home

 

Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, plashless, as they swim.
