BIRDLIP, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: In the cotswolds is a nest Last Line: In your arms, my love, to-night! Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
IN the Cotswolds is a nest With a name so dear That there's sorrow in my breast If I linger here: It is Birdlip, Birdlip, Cherry, apple, sloe! And it's Ah to be at Birdlip For the healing of my woe! In the Cotswolds is a nest Of a peace so deep That it seems a truer rest Than the soul of sleep. It is Birdlip, Birdlip, Nightingales and dew! And it's Ah to be at Birdlip, Happy nightingales, with you! In the Cotswolds is a nest With a maid so sweet, That there's sorrow in my breast Till our bosoms meet. She's at Birdlip, Birdlip, Fragrance and delight! And it's Ah to be at Birdlip In your arms, my Love, to-night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE CRIPPLE by KARLE WILSON BAKER THE COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
