Thy beautiful throat <br />The poets have admired <br />And thy similes <br />The lovers have hired <br /> <br />Amused are they from ostentation <br />Do not know the real frets <br />As their feet are above terra firma <br />All above realities and the facts <br /> <br />Living in the world of ideas <br />Not in the facts and figures <br />Affected by the affectations <br />Not aware of the life’s rigors <br /> <br />Whose eggs the cuckoo gnaws at <br />The simple thing every body know <br />Whose offspring die before birth? <br />Is called the ugly crow<br /><br />akram saqib<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-cuckoo-3/
