ALL DAY: WINDOW-BARS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now I lie still
Last Line: From dawn to dark!
Subject(s): Birds; Insects; Windows; Bugs


Now I lie still,
Crossed window-bars let fine thoughts through.
A wasp goes by;
But lady-bugs crawl in to visit,
Two and two!

Now I lie still,
The oriole, the thrush, the lark,
Build me a house of song,
With every stair a winding canticle
From dawn to dark!
