A swift storm at Daybreak though the day is stagnant and sultry – At evening the sun disappears early in the thickening west; massive white thunderheads appear – To Three Trees – song-sparrow sings; an unknown songster that flies up & sings as he falls through the air – trees jutting upwards in the heavy air –
