The Blackbird |

________________________________________________
Title: The Blackbird Author: Theophile Gautier [More Titles by Gautier] A bird from yonder branch at dawn It is the blackbird credulous. Rain sweeps in torrents unrepressed. The mountains have their ermine on, The bird dries well his wing, and long, He softly chides the slumberous morn Behind the dark sees day that smiles, He trusts to Nature's purpose high, [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
