THE BLACKBIRD

Robert Nichols

I stand in a sunny garden; A blackbird sings overhead: “I'm alive... I've a love... the sun's shining And where's the man would be dead?”

“Blackbird, make an ending of fluting That song down your orange beak: I'm alive... I've a love... the sun's shining, And — I am the man you seek.”
