Poem reflects on youthful wandering and memory as truants dream of wrath but seek guidance. It contrasts slipping paths with a humane line tracing a divine ideal. The speaker imagines lovers, schooldays, and a lingering sense of a father’s door as moral center.
Whittier frames winter as a hopeful season with nature’s signs of coming summer. Through personified wind, birds, and streams, he argues that sorrow and decay conceal germs of renewal and faith, as the night serves the day and God preserves hope in all works.
The piece recalls the unveiling of Alexander Hamilton’s statue in Central Park by his son John C. Hamilton and reflects on Hamilton’s death in a duel with Aaron Burr, comparing his legacy to Washington and noting New York’s role in memorializing him. It also recounts Judge Burnet and St. Clair’s frontier court travels, detailing journeys across the Northwest Territory, Native American games, early river crossings, and hardy winters with sketches of Blue Jacket, Hu-kon-ge-he-las, and Colonel Vigo guiding the lawyers on lengthy overland routes.
The piece mocks tombstone advertisements where grieving relatives monetize grief. It cites epitaphs misused as sales pitches from James Hambrick to a Paris grave lamp inventor and a Upton-on-Severn landlord, ending with a marble cutter offering monuments as advertisements for 250 dollars.
The Boott county pigeon roost has drawn hunters for eighty years with shotguns torches and poles. Birds arrive by midnight depart at daylight and travel hundreds of miles to feeding grounds. At night limbs break and a pandemonium of noise and gunfire prevails. Hogs roam the grounds feeding on dead birds after slaughter nights.
