  1. Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
    Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
    Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
    My heart remembers how!

    —Robert Louis Stevenson, “To S. R. Crockett (In Reply to a Dedication)”

  6. Yesterday, I saw a cousin of yours,
    a whimbrel,
    that, when close to, looks like yourself
    seen at a distance…

  11. You see that I will have to rise
    And turn round and get back where
    My running age will slow for a moment
    To let me on. It is a colder
    Stretch of water than I remember.

    The curlew’s cry travelling still
    Kills me fairly…
