回复: 院里来了一只刚学飞的小鸟
A BIRD came down the walk
Nature can tell you all about the life and all the truth of life.
A bird came down the walk
A Bird came down the Walk--
He did not know I saw--
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass--
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To Let a Beetle pass--
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all around--
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought--
He stirred his Velvet Head
Like one in danger, Catious,
I offered him a Crumb
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home--
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, Plashless as they swim.
---- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
