• I saw a crow building a nest, I was watching him very carefully, I was kind of stalking him and he was aware of it.

• Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.

• O hushed October morning mild,
  Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
  Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
  Should waste them all.
  The crows above the forest call;
  Tomorrow they may form and go.
  O hushed October morning mild,
  Begin the hours of this day slow.
  Make the day seem to us less brief.
  Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
  Beguile us in the way you know.
  Release one leaf at break of day;
  At noon release another leaf;
  One from our trees, one far away.
