The beauty of Nature the joys of the Spring <br />In that scrubby place where the goldfinches sing <br />Their songs of November on the sapling trees <br />That sway to and fro in the freshening breeze <br />The wildborn goldfinches lovely to behold <br />With red around their bills and fawn, dark brown and gold <br />Their twittering low notes like fairy bells ring <br />The wonders of Nature a magical thing <br />With brown spots on their fragile wings white butterflies <br />So effortlessly off of the wildflowers they rise <br />Few of them live longer than 48 hours <br />Their lives even shorter than Nature's wildflowers <br />Where-ever i turn to look Nature's beauty i see <br />And a goldfinch is singing on a sapling tree.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-goldfinch-is-singing/
