Walt was born on May 31, 1819 and died on March 26, 1892. Among his greatest poems is Out of The Cradle Endlessly Rocking. The first stanza is 24 lines long and consists of a single grammatically correct sentence. I have attempted to capture the mood and import of that stanza in this short (5 minute) video.
My thanks to Rauol Pop <https://raoulpop.com> for his permission to use his footage of a very vocal mockingbird.

Good Morning Gloucester 
That was truly lovely. I have a special affection for mockingbirds. When I lived in Jamaica, it was said that to have one in your yard was a blessing. We always had one in our yard, and I loved to hear him sing.
