Walter de la Mare - The TitmouseWalter de la Mare - The Titmouse
Work rating: Low


    If you would happy company win,     Dangle a palm-nut from a tree,     Idly in green to sway and spin,     Its snow-pulped kernel for bait; and see,     A nimble titmouse enter in.     Out of earth`s vast unknown of air,     Out of all summer, from wave to wave,     He`ll perch, and prank his feathers fair,     Jangle a glass-clear wildering stave,     And take his commons there     This tiny son of life; this spright,     By momentary Human sought,     Plume will his wing in the dappling light,     Clash timbrel shrill and gay     And into time`s enormous nought,     Sweet-fed, will flit away.
