Far better and more God-like in us all.
See Black-birds fly around,
Alighting on the ground,
While the Mocking-birds’ hosannahs loudly call.
“And yonder in the waters free,
Blue Herons and white Egrets see;
Thus far have they escaped the tyrant, Pride.
The Ducks are diving for their food,
And, hit or miss, they still are good—
In all no groom unfriendly to his bride!
