Have you seen the mockingbird <br />in the tree abiding <br />resting in a homely place <br />where humans are residing? <br /> <br />Glorify the birds <br />albatross and eagle <br />fabulously regal. <br /> <br />Have you heard the hummingbird <br />coloured wings a-quivering <br />flying hither, flying dither <br />around the flowers twittering? <br /> <br />Sanctify the birds <br />turtle dove and herring gull <br />beautifully regal. <br /> <br />Have you seen the lyre bird <br />resting on the ground <br />always bright, sweet delight <br />devouring insects from the mound? <br /> <br />Venerate the birds <br />gentle swan and seabird <br />elegant and gently regal.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-seen-have-you-heard/
