III Mcmorion] of a Grty Parrot. 
In Memoriam of a Grey Parrot. 
Tn perpetual memory 
of 
CATTY-ANNE. 
The beloved companion of B. Theo Stewart, 
who 
Fell asleep July 25TH, 
Tlimi u'as't not born for Dcatli, 
The sun was at meridian when 
Ufv spirit spread its wing's; 
And now 1 fancy to the sky 
Some grey and scarlet cHngs. 
She is not, yet I know she is 
Somewhere beyond my ken, 
In t'.ie grey dawn, at scarlet set 
C.Jf sun, I see her then. 
Viv.t always in the noontide's glow, 
,\bout the hour she died, 
Slie leaves the somewhere where she bides, 
To perch here by my side : 
So thin the veil that hangs between 
Of feathers misty grey ; 
Then with a glimpse of scarlet sheen 
The vision flies away. 
But I hear the dear familiar tone 
And know despite my pain. 
That in the world that sets this right 
She will be mine again. 
1919. 
Immortal bird.
