The Birds of Song




As in their flight
the birds of song
Halt here and there
in sweet and sunny dales,
But halt not overlong;
The time one rural song to sing
They pause; then following
bounteous gales
Steer forward on the wing:
Sun-servers they,
from first to last,
Upon the sun they wait
To ride the sailing blast.


Robert Louis Stevenson
