VAGRANT VERSE
628.—BIRDLOVERS.
(Written for the Southland Times.)
Birdlovers are a race apart who hear More than birdsong whenever blackbirds sing, Who look beyond the human scene, and fear The human foe with every flashing wing.
No idle pose they know, but hard as stone The cruel laws unwritten bind them
in, By fleeting feathers they are overthrown, With all the world of melody to win.
—SOUTHERNER. Invercargill, t November 4, 1935.
