Owls
written by William Henry Davies
From "My Birds", 1933 Link to further information




What music, Lord, these birds must feel,
That makes no pleasant tune:
They fail by throat, yet in their hearts
How they enjoy the Moon!
When I sit thinking of my money,
Or lie in bed and snore -
'Te-who! Te-who!' they cry in wonder,
For the beauty at my door.
