TO A BIRD, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: O bird that darts now low, now high Last Line: But never can be wise as you! Subject(s): Birds; May (month); Wisdom | ||||||||
O BIRD that darts now low, now high, You know the streets across the sky; You know where leafy lanes lie deep And quiet nooks to go to sleep; You know the place to build a nest, What twigs to use, what shape is best; I wonder how you found things out That scholars never know about; I've studied large books through and through, But never can be wise as you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 5 by CONRAD AIKEN SONG: NOW THAT SHE IS HERE; FOR JOE-ANNE by HAYDEN CARRUTH WISE: HAVING THE ABILITY TO PERCEIVE AND ADOPT THE BEST by LUCILLE CLIFTON WISDOM COMETH WITH THE YEARS by COUNTEE CULLEN FOR RANDALL JARRELL, 1914-1965 by NORMAN DUBIE THE MORTAL WORDS OF ZWEIK by PHILIP LEVINE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
