Summary "Roof and Meadow" by Dallas Lore Sharp is a nature-themed collection of essays likely written in the early 20th century. The prose explores the author's observations of wildlife and natural landscapes while contrasting the urban backdrop of city life with the serenity of nature, focusing on personal reflections and interactions with the birds and other creatures inhabiting the areas around him. At the start of "Roof and Meadow," the author sets the scene from his urban rooftop, where he reflects on the sounds of nature that drift into the city. He describes listening to birds such as swallows and night-hawks as they navigate the urban environment, highlighting the beauty of their actions against the backdrop of city noise. The opening also discusses the various birds he witnesses, their habits, and their migratory patterns, offering a deep appreciation for the natural world while lamenting the disconnect created by urban life. Through detailed observations, the author invites readers to consider the vitality and persistence of wildlife amid the encroachment of civilization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
