CHICKADEE by HILDA CONKLING

First Line: THE CHICKADEE IN THE APPLETREE
Last Line: CHICK-A-DEE-DEE-DEE . . .
Subject(s): ANIMALS;

THE chickadee in the appletree
Talks all the time very gently.
He makes me sleepy.
I rock away to the sea-lights.
Far off I hear him talking
The way smooth bright pebbles
Drop into water . . .
Chick-a-dee-dee-dee . . .
