BLUEBIRD, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography First Line: Oh bluebird with light red breast Last Line: Then . . . Good-by! Subject(s): Birds; Bluebirds | ||||||||
OH bluebird with light red breast, And your blue back like a feathered sky, You have to go down south Before biting winter comes And my flower-beds are covered with fluff out of the clouds. Before you go, Sing me one more song Of tree-tops down south, Of darkies singing their babies to sleep, Of sand and glittering stones Where rivers pass; Then . . . good-by! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAST WORD OF A BLUEBIRD; AS TOLD TO A CHILD by ROBERT FROST THE FIRST BLUEBIRD by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY THE BLUEBIRD by WILLIAM P.
