Alfred Noyes - AlzunaAlfred Noyes - Alzuna
Work rating: Low


The forest of Alzuna hides a pool.     Beside that pool, a shadowy tree up-towers. High on that tree, a bough most beautiful     Bends with the fragrant burden of its flowers. Among those flowers a nest is buried deep.     Warm in that nest, there lies a freckled shell. Packed in that shell, a bird is fast asleep.     This is the incantation and the spell. For, when the north wind blows, the bird will cry,     “Warm in my freckled shell, I lie asleep. The freckled shell is in the nest on high.     The nest among the flowers is buried deep. The flowers are on a bough most beautiful.     The bough is on a tree no axe can fell. The sky is at its feet in yonder pool.     This is the incantation and the spell!”
