THE NEST, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: The nest is round and the nest is small Last Line: The world's biggest bargain is surely a nest! Subject(s): Birds' Nests | ||||||||
The nest is round and the nest is small, Dear little circle enclosing all, All of the joy in the wide world's bound, Though the nest is small and the nest is round. The nest is fashioned of common things, Leaves and grasses and twigs and strings, Yet never a palace so lordly fine As the palace fashioned of leaves and twine. The house had never an architect, No pother of plans to discuss and select, But Love was the builder and Love was the plan, And Love was the competent artisan. No lease was signed by these happy folk, No rent was required by their Landlord Oak, All at no charges and all of the best, -- The world's biggest bargain is surely a nest! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BELATED MEMORIAL by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BIBLE LOVER'S THANKSGIVING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BIT OF GOOD WORK by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BOY'S SUPERIORITY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BUILDING SITE by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CAPE COD WOOD ROAD by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CERTAIN EDITOR by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHALLENGE TO WORRY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHANCE MEETING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHANT FOR PATRIOTS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
