The yellowhammers nest


When shall I see the white-thorn leaves agen

& yellowhammers gathering the dry bents
By the dyke side on stilly moor or fen
Feathered with love & natures good intents
Rude is the tent this architect invents
Rural the place with cart ruts by dyke side
Dead grass horse hair & downy-headed bents
Tied to dead thistles--she doth well provide
