Old Man Cardinal.
O, glorious, glorious day!
Thank you for the warmth and wind,
The moving shadows of the clouds
Against the greening fields,
Ménage à trois (tiger beetles).
And for the singing cardinal,
The comely chickadee,
The Brown Creeper, elusive, singing,
And the tiger beetle ménage à trois.
