The Ugly Little Bird


Someone has pulled me out of the grass

Because I had fallen

From a black branch.

O sweet! O wild!

The cats are evil here!

O am an ugly little bird – with my soft beak

I keep pecking at the running brook

And I screech when at someone

Bruuised by the brute force I look!

My wings still cannot fly

But I love to travel.

My little feet I can hardly raise.

Restraining my wild little shudders

I feebly into the sky gaze.

I do not want to be in the nest

In which darkness keeps me warm.

Alone and all my own

Weak and strong,

I remain out, in the storm!
