Charles Kingsley - The Starlings
Work rating: Low

Early in spring time, on raw and windy mornings,
Beneath the freezing house-eaves I heard the starlings sing—
`Ah dreary March month, is this then a time for building wearily?
Sad, sad, to think that the year is but begun.`

Late in the autumn, on still and cloudless evenings,
Among the golden reed-beds I heard the starlings sing—
`Ah that sweet March month, when we and our mates were courting merrily;
Sad, sad, to think that the year is all but done.`

Eversley, 1848.
