Bluebird

Charming roadside garden and stone wall in progress, created by the gentleman who with his customary finesse operated the bulldozer on Sunday...

#1395

After all Birds have been investigated and laid aside-—
Nature imparts the little Blue-Bird-—assured
Her conscientious Voice will soar unmoved
Above ostensible Vicissitude.

First at the March-—competing with the Wind-—
Her panting note exalts us-—like a friend-—
Last to adhere when Summer cleaves away-—
Elegy of Integrity.


--Emily Dickinson
