A rugged frontier ballad recounts a hunter wounded by a Pawnee attack near a sugar camp. The speaker laments blindness and separation from Sally, recalling life at the sugar-kettle camp and the peril of lash and firelight as he endures a stoic, doomed vigil. The poem blends frontier hardship with raw memory and longing.
On the Pryme hill lives Bartholomew Gilbert and his daughter Patience, owners of a thriving hop yard. Bartholomew and Nancy cherish simple labor and faith, while their grandson Handel Whitman struggles under an unfulfilled musical hopes and a shifting church future. Handel accepts work in hops to help, as mental conflict grows between art and tradition.
