Natures sweetest pledge


The blackbird startles from the homestead hedge,

Raindrops and leaves fall yellow as he springs;

Such images are natures sweetest pledge,

To me there's music in his rustling wings.

‘Prink, prink,’ he cries, and loud the robin sings;

The small hawk like a shot drops from the sky

Close to my feet for mice and creeping things.
