SAINT FRANCIS
Because a tiny boy has pressed
Too close, a blackbird on her nest
Is full of trouble in her breast,
And tremulously glances.
She thinks how well she could have fared
Without his speeches. If she dared
To peck this little golden-haired
Inquisitive Saint Francis!
Too close, a blackbird on her nest
Is full of trouble in her breast,
And tremulously glances.
She thinks how well she could have fared
Without his speeches. If she dared
To peck this little golden-haired
Inquisitive Saint Francis!
She does not know his parents speak
From day to day and week to week
In love of breast and wing and beak,
And all a blackbird's chances.
A wrong not easily repaired
Were done, dear mother, if you dared
To peck this little golden-haired
Inquisitive Saint Francis!
From day to day and week to week
In love of breast and wing and beak,
And all a blackbird's chances.
A wrong not easily repaired
Were done, dear mother, if you dared
To peck this little golden-haired
Inquisitive Saint Francis!
Because of pretty stories heard,
He only wants to have a word
Of joy with you, suspicious bird,
About those sweet romances!
Be very thankful that you spared
The heart had broken had you dared
To peck this small and golden-haired
And amateur Saint Francis!
He only wants to have a word
Of joy with you, suspicious bird,
About those sweet romances!
Be very thankful that you spared
The heart had broken had you dared
To peck this small and golden-haired
And amateur Saint Francis!
