I know a place, in the ivy on a tree, Where a bird's nest is, and the eggs are three, And the bird is brown, and the eggs are blue, And the twigs are old, but the moss is new, And I go quite near, though I think I should have heard The sound of me watching, if I had been a bird. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOONLIT APPLES by JOHN DRINKWATER 1914-1918: THE DEAD SPEAK by JOHN DRINKWATER A CHRISTMAS NIGHT by JOHN DRINKWATER A DEDICATION by JOHN DRINKWATER A GHOST SPEAKS ON THE STYX by JOHN DRINKWATER A MAN'S DAUGHTER by JOHN DRINKWATER |
