What a delightful little verse on Thoreau, Caren. Deb and I went to visit his cabin in the woods when we were in New England. The cabin is gone, but there is a special stone there marking the place at Walden Pond.

I love the idea of living at Walden Pond, and I am close There is a brook behind me and a marsh to the east.
