The throstle with his note so true,The wren with little quill.
— Thrushes
The throstle with his note so true,The wren with little quill.
That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,The first fine careless rapture!
When rosy plumelets tuft the larch,And rarely pipes the mounted thrush.
Across the noisy streetSing on, sing on, O thrush!
O thrush, your song is passing sweet,When my dear love and I were young.
In the gloamin' o' the woodThe throssil whusslit sweet.
I said to the brown, brown thrush: Like a sound amid sounds most fine."
Sing, sweet thrushes, forth and sing! Buds and birds on our trysting-tree?
Hush!The Hermit Thrush.
At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears,Hangs a thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years.
And hark! how blithe the throstle sings! Let Nature be your teacher.
