One of his shorter poems features the riddle "Why does the bee have a sword to his fiddle?" which is propounded by one of the titular crows to the other one.  The speaker reads "man's epitaph" on the "runic moon" in his "What the Sexton Said," while he compared the author of Aurora Leigh to Mary Pickford in his "Elizabeth Barrett Browning."  One of his poems imagines an American folk hero reading the books of Swedenborg on the mountain top called "Going-To-The-Sun," while another depicts a dead "prairie-lawyer" who cannot sleep until peace comes to "Cornwall, Alp and Sea."  A poem written for a man who died on March 12, 1902 advised a forgotten eagle to sleep softly under the stone, while another poem imagines banjos rattling and tambourines jing-jing-jingling as a philanthropist enters into heaven.  FTP, name this author of "In Praise of Johnny Appleseed" and "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight," who also wrote "The Congo."
