emma lou diemer - the birds begun at four o'clock lyrics

Loading...

the birds begun at four o’clock—
their period for dawn—
a music numerous as sp+ce—
but neighboring as noon—

i could not count their force—
their voices did expend
as brook by brook bestows itself
to multiply the pond

their witnesses were not—
except occasional man—
in homely industry arrayed—
to overtake the morn—

nor was it for applause—
that i could ascertain—
but independent ecstasy
of deity and men—

by six, the flood had done—
no tumult there had been
of dressing, or departure—
and yet thе band was gone—

the sun engrossеd the east—
the day controlled the world—
the miracle that introduced
forgotten, as fulfilled
