6 Emily Dickinson Poems: 5. A Bird, came down the Walk

This is my classical composition band page. Hopefully I'll keep this up to date with new and fresh compositions. Some of these compositions are realized through Finale 2010. Now I have a few more live recordings up here from various dates! If you would like a score, please let me know and we can arrange something!

Lyrics

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 abroad –
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.
