Before you thought
of Spring
Except as a Surmise
You see – God bless
his Suddenness
A Fellow in the Skies
Of independent Hues
A little weather worn
Inspiriting habiliments
Of Indigo and Brown –
with specimens of
song
As if for you to choose –
Discretion in the interval –
with gay delays he
goes
To some superior Tree
without a single Leaf
And shouts for
joy to nobody
But his
seraphic
Self –
¦
Blue Bird –
