Walter de la Mare - The LinnetWalter de la Mare - The Linnet
Work rating: Medium


Upon this leafy bush With thorns and roses in it, Flutters a thing of light, A twittering Linnet. And all the throbbing world Of dew and sun and air By this small parcel of life Is made more fair; As if each bramble-spray And mounded gold-wreathed furze, Harebell and little thyme, Were only hers; As if this beauty and grace Did to one bird belong, And, at a flutter of wing, Might vanish in song.
