Sweet bird, thy bow’r is ever green,
Thy sky is ever clear,
Thou has no sorrow in thy song,
No winter in thy year.

Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.
I appreciate all who look at my blog, but I will not be publishing any businesses. If you are only able to publish anonymously, would you sign your name, and leave an addy so I can return your visit where possible? Thank you!
Lovely

DeleteThat's a very red cardinal! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was a real beauty :)
DeleteHi Linda, I have often wondered if you have a blog other than blogger. I see your blogger intro but not a link. Don't want you to think I am not bothered about replying to you as I do enjoy your pop-ins :)
DeleteWow! Short but powerful!!! Birds do not know enough to be sad and cannot worry about the future. Too bad we cannot be a bit like that. Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteAgree Ginny, we would all be a lot better off :)

ReplyDeleteHope your weather isn't too horrid

It is, very much. So much part of taking a photo is being in the right place at the right time. Our weather, after a light snow, is disappearing fast into sunshine. Driveways and pathways are already clear as the snow has melted, happy to say. Thank you Cecilia, Hugs, Denise

DeleteThese few lines make us think about more than ourselves. This poet didn't live very long. If he'd lived longer we may have had more poetry like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Red and that is an interesting thought and quite sad. The poetry he could have written! :)
