The Groundhog

Hello. I took my normal route today, for the first time since the ghastly sight. But I avoided the particular area in question. Anyway, it got me thinking about a certain poem, "The Groundhog" by Richard Eberhart, for which I will provide a "link" here. I found the poem on the "internet" in a few spots, but this is the one that seemed to contain no typos.
