Magpies
Along the road magpies walk
witrh hands in pocets, left and right.
They tilt their heads, and stroll and talk.
In thir well-fitted black and white.
they look like certain gentlemen
who seem most nonchalant and wise
until their meal is served- and then
what clashing beaks, what greedy eyes!
but not one man that i have heard
throwsd back his head in sutch a song
of grace and praise - no man nor bird.
their greed if brief; their joy if long.
for each is born with such a throat
as thanks his God with every note.
