BIRDS in the green of my garden Blackbirds and throstle and wren, Wet your dear wings in the tears that are Spring's And so to your singing again! Birds in my blossoming orchard, Chaffinch and goldfinch and lark, Preen your bright wings, little happy live things; The May trees grow white in the park! Birds in the leafy wet woodlands, Cuckoo and nightingale brown, Sing to the sound of the rain on green ground -- The rain on green leaves dripping down! Fresh with the rain of the May-time, Rich with the promise of June, Deep in her heart, where the little leaves part, Love, like a bird, sings in tune! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PSALM 8.
