Rough-metred verse in Yankee dialect about the people of Maine: Aunt Shaw and her pet jug, Cy Nye the prevaricator, Uncle Benjy, Hoskins’s cow, an old salt’s yarn told over stiff grog, county fairs, harrow and plough, and a grandfather’s lullaby. Day insists he cannot write a sonnet, and sticks to the woods, the farm and the waterfront.
