VESPERS by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN

First Line: O BLACKBIRD, WHAT A BOY YOU ARE!
Last Line: THE BLACKBIRD SAITH.
Subject(s): BLACKBIRDS;

O BLACKBIRD, what a boy you are!
How you do go it!
Blowing your bugle to that one sweet star --
How you do blow it!
And does she hear you, blackbird boy, so far?
Or is it wasted breath?
"Good Lord! she is so bright
To-night!"
The blackbird saith.
