THE WHITE-THROAT, by                    
First Line: Faint, far-off, haunting, hear!
Last Line: Plaintively beautiful.
Subject(s): Sparrows


FAINT, far-off, haunting, hear!
The White-Throat's call!
Wild from the forest depths:
Delicately beautiful.

Again the third descending note
Repeats the call.
Louder and clearer,
Searching the wild-wood depths,
Trembling it fills the air,
Plaintively beautiful.
