    Thy early smile has stayed my walk;
    But midst the gorgeous blooms of May,
    I passed thee on thy humble stalk.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
    To catechism by a mind too strewn
    With petty cares to slightly understand
    What awful brain compels His awful hand.
    Yet do I marvel at this curious thing;
    To make a poet black, and bid him sing!
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    Merrily swinging on brier and weed,
    Near to the nest of his litle dame,
    Over the mountainside or mead,
    Robert of Lincoln is telling his name:
    Bob-o’-link, bob-o’-link,
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
