On Startling some Pigeons
A Hundred wings are dropped as soft as one,
Now ye are lighted; lovely to my sight
The fearful circle of your gentle flight,
Rapid and mute, and drawig homeward soon;
And then, the sober chiding of your tone
(As there ye sit, from your own roofs arraigning
My trespass on your haunts, so boldly done)
Sounds like a solemn and a just complaining!
O happy, happy race! for though there clings
A feeble fear about your timid clan,
Yet are ye blest! with not a thought that brings
Disquietude; while proud and sorrowing man,
An eagle, weary of his mighty wings,
With anxious inquest fills his little span.
