Clare, John: The Yellowhammer - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 The Yellowhammer When shall I see the white thorn leaves agen And yellowhammers gath'ring the dry bents By the dyke side on stilly moor or fen Feathered wi love and natures good intents Rude is the nest this Architect invents Rural the place wi cart ruts by dyke side Dead grass, horse hair and downy headed bents Tied to dead thistles she doth well provide Close to a hill o' ants where cowslips bloom And shed o'er meadows far their sweet perfume In early Spring when winds blow chilly cold The yellowhammer trailing grass will come To fix a place and choose an early home With yellow breast and head of solid gold. |
