  7. When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

  8. The War Against the Trees The man who sold his lawn to standard oil Joked with his neighbors come to watch the show While the bulldozers, drunk with gasoline, Tested the virtue of the soil Under the branchy sky By overthrowing first the privet-row.

  9. Analysis • Pick your favorite poem you read today. • Write down three lines that are important (evidence). • Explain why they are important (analysis). • Tie these reasons together into a single thought (thesis). • With this, then will write a well-constructed paragraph (thesis, evidence, analysis) to turn in.
