But+oh,+the+days+when+I+wasEMD+poor,+a+vagrant+in+a+ditch

In this poem Williams shows his appreciation for natural beauties. It seems that in most cases when people experience something beautiful or unique, they cannot fully appreciate it until they are no longer in the presence of it. The author writes the poem as if he no longer has they opportunity to be in the presence of these beauties and that he misses the lifestyle were he had little things but many breathtaking experiences. Great observation! Th the line "But oh, the days when I was poor" was particularly confusing to me because he implies that he is no longer homeless. First, if he did want the reader to know that, he should have made it more clear. Second, if he was wealthy it would have been interesting if he had told us how is life had changed and if he regrets loosing the lifestyle he once had or does he just miss it. Good point, Elias!
