The Woodpecker.

I knew by the smoke to so gracefully curl’d,

Over yonder green elms that a cottage was near:

And I said, if there's peace to be found in the world,

The heart that is humble might hope for it here.

Every leaf was at rest, and I heard not a sound.

But the Woodpecker taping the hollow beach tree.
