To the farthest distance, that vision can trace
In the aura of green, the earth lies immersed
And the squeaks of morning birds
Render melody to my ears
A mother bird, calling for her child
Searching every tree that he might hide
Two others, together, a pair
Arrive nest, with their night’s share
Yet another, screeching in shrill sounds
Warning them all of an enemy around
Many, floating on this vista, serene
As if saying, “These don’t affect me.”
But somewhere above,
Still flies a cunning hawk
Watching and waiting
over the humble flock.
