[‘Pink pink’ the bunting sings & picks its feather]
‘Pink pink’ the bunting sings & picks its featherI love the note it speaks of winter weather
The blue cap seeks the mossy apple tree
& pecks the buds & flutters merrily
The sparrow noises in the cottage eaves
& hides from cats among the opening leaves
