I heard a wood thrush in the dusk Twirl three notes and make a star - My heart that walked with bitterness Came back from very far. Three shining notes were all he had, And yet they made a starry call - I caught life back against my breast And kissed it, scars and all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SECOND BOOK OF ODES: 1. by BASIL BUNTING THE THRUSH'S NEST by JOHN CLARE THE DARKLING THRUSH by THOMAS HARDY WHAT THE THRUSH SAID by JOHN KEATS THE BROWN THRUSH by LUCY LARCOM THE WOOD THRUSH by SUSAN SHARP ADAMS A MIGRANT THRUSH by MARY RUSSELL BARTLETT THE MUSIC-LESSON by MATHILDE BLIND SONNET ON HEARING A THRUSH SING IN JANUARY by ROBERT BURNS |
