Subject(s): Birds; Moon
The moon has her nest in a tree,
Each night quite plainly I see
Her rest in her golden, silvern throne --
A shimmering leaf-nest all her own.
What proof hold I that the moon
Is a dove, or a lark, or swallow? --
Simply watch and see in brightest shoon
Little fledgling stars soon follow.
