THE RUBY THROAT, by RUTH BUTLER BROWN First Line: Tiny little humming bird Last Line: I have time to stay. Subject(s): Hummingbirds | |||
Tiny little humming bird, Inches three your length, Brilliant is your ruby throat, Giant is your strength. Many miles you fly away Over gulf and sea, Only tiny gauzy wings Your security. Quivering in your wild delight, Never sounding note, Yet I've seen the color change In that gem-like throat. I've prepared a larkspur feast, Served in cups of blue; Will you taste my nectar rare? Bees like it, too. Tiny little humming bird, Hurry not away! Linger on the lilac bough, I have time to stay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...11:02 A.M.
