The Woodthrush lyrics

by

William Carlos Williams


Singing across the orchard
Before night, answered
From the depths
Of the wood inversely
And in a lower key—

First I tried to write
Conventionally praising you
But found it no more
Than my own thoughts
That I was giving. No

What can I say?
Vistas
Of delight waking suddenly
Before a cheated world
