Migration

Migration

The dawn is dizzy with birds:Summer’s last handful scattered wide,Summer’s last pennies sung aside!Jingle of birds in the dawn:Hedges and bushes in beggared need,Lifting brown hands with a desolate greed!Spendthrift content in the dawn:Squandered uncounted across the sky,But into no purse will these winged coins fly!The dawn is a resolute pathOf irresolute flight and dim half-tunes—But I am a miser of hoarded Junes!The dawn is dizzy with birds.

But into no purse will these winged coins fly!

Of irresolute flight and dim half-tunes—

But I am a miser of hoarded Junes!

The dawn is dizzy with birds.
