THE STOCKDOVES
ОглавлениеThey rose up in a twinkling cloud
And wheeled about and bowed
To settle on the trees
Perching like small clay figures.
Then with a noise of sudden rain
They clattered off again
And over Ballard Down
They circled like a flying town.
Though one could sooner blast a rock
Than scatter that dense flock
That through the winter weather
Some iron rule has held together,
Yet in another month from now
Love like a spark will blow
Those birds the country over
To drop in trees, lover by lover.
