All Things Are Current Found
All things are current found,
On earthly ground,
Spirits and elements
Have their descents.
Night and day, year on year,
High and low, far and near,
These are our own aspects,
These are our own regrets.
Ye gods of the shore,
Who abide evermore,
I see you far headland,
Stretching on either hand;
I hear the sweet evening sounds
From your undecaying grounds;
Cheat me no more with time,
Take me to your clime.
Henry David Thoreau

Analysis
In this Poem, he has obviously used Allegory because of the non-literal use of language. This poem hasn't used much literacy devices but the deep meaning of the poem really covers that up. The main idea of this poem is basically that we drop important things that happen in our lives and then it all go to God and eventually we have to go pick them up at God's Doorstep.
