5:00 A.M. chestnut hunting- Riding thru the dark town, with the moon high in the west –
Over the wet country road - Dawn; how the morning star pales; the moonlight loses ground– a bird commences to sing; it is like a combination of the meadowlark & bobolink—
The old wet battered house in the woods; three black cows & one black bull.
