Emerson’s second book of verse opens with “May-Day”, a long celebration of the coming of spring, followed by “The Adirondacs”, his account of a camping trip with Boston friends. The occasional and miscellaneous pieces include “Brahma”, “Nemesis”, “Fate”, “Freedom”, the Concord ode of July 1857, the “Boston Hymn” and the valedictory “Terminus”.
