Hummingbird
Such a delicate little hummingbird
I saw fluttering to and fro'
Level eye, she flew right by
Then dove for the flowers below
I could only watch in muse
Remaining myself ever so discreet
As she partook of nectar
That lay in growth nearest my feet
I knew that I should dare not move
Lest she would surely fly away
How amazed I was by this dainty creature...
And hoped that she at length would stay
Ere she sipped from bloom to bloom-
All the while, so utterly unaware
That I did stand in pure delight
As before me, she hovered mid-air
Once again she dove below
And took her final fill
Then began she did to ascend away
As I just stood there still
She grew smaller and smaller
Quickly flown from my eyes reach
I shouted out with glee to her
"Please come again and sip near me"
