THE WOOD THRUSH. 



In the dark, muggy shades of the woodland. 

 In the celandine and jewelweed lush. 



Sweetest, surely fairest of music, 

 I hear the voice of the Thrush. 



Full of mystery, unsolved, unsolvable. 



Voicing the infinite promise. 

 Fraught with happiness, joy indissolvable, 



I hear the voice of the Thrush. 



In the cool of the morning, the heat of the noon. 



In the quiet of vesper hush. 

 Unchanged, ever true, all sublime, 



I hear the voice of the Thrush. 



Full of love, to mate, to God, 



Singing of boundless content. 

 Telling of great grief, yet greater joy, 



I hear the voice of the Thrush.
