LI. The Blue Jay

Оглавление

Table of Contents

No brigadier throughout the year

So civic as the jay.

A neighbor and a warrior too,

With shrill felicity


Pursuing winds that censure us

A February day,

The brother of the universe

Was never blown away.


The snow and he are intimate;

I 've often seen them play

When heaven looked upon us all

With such severity,


I felt apology were due

To an insulted sky,

Whose pompous frown was nutriment

To their temerity.


The pillow of this daring head

Is pungent evergreens;

His larder — terse and militant —

Unknown, refreshing things;


His character a tonic,

His future a dispute;

Unfair an immortality

That leaves this neighbor out.
