RONDEAU
Tn spite of all, the thrush will bring His silver soug to anything That takes his fancy. Whether day Be lustreless or lilac-gay, He’ll spread himself and wave a wing, He’ll pipe a rondelet, or fling A note or two from leafy swing. In shade or shine he’ll have his say, In spite of all. And such am 1! Awakening To ancient griefs that fret and cling, 1 listen to his roundelay, Amazed to think a bird can play Upon my heart and make me sing, In spite of all. —Gloria Rawlinson, in the ‘ Australasian.’
