THE STARLING - ZaunköniG - 29.12.2010 THE STARLING, Or Nest-talk and Fear-talk. Poor bird ! why with such energy reprove My presence ? why that tone which pines and grieves ? At early dawn, thy sweet voice from the eaves Hath gone between us oft, a voice of love, A bond of peace. Why should I ever plot Thy ruin, or thy fond affections baulk ? Dost thou not send me down thy happy talk Even to my pillow, though thou seest me not ? How should I harm thee ? yet thy timid eye Is on me, and a harsh re]:>uke succeeds ; Not like the tender brooding note that pleads Thy cause so well, so all- unconsciously; Yet shall to-morrow's dawning hear thy strain Renewed, and knit our indoor bond again. |
