Padraic Colum - Night-FliersPadraic Colum - Night-Fliers
Work rating: Low


THE birds that soar break space Like heavy bodies hurled! Not so the birds of night They move as in a sphere On which they touch always How patterned their flight! The owl, the whippoorwill! And like volcano`s ash His plumes all cinderous Black mirrors are his eyes (The owl`s). They`ll fill with light What time will come the cries As from tongues taut with dews (The whippoorwills). What sounds Are in their day-lost world, What motions and what hues!
