The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

I     spent some     winter evenings
while the snow whirled 
making a path through    
the former occupants of these woods
 
inhabitants
                                                                                    Cato Ingraham

                                                                                    the Stratton family

history     set on fire
 
fire that     leaped the brook
 
And     fresh sparks went up
 
and we     heard the crackling
 
and     felt the heat
 
and     concluded to let it burn
