A poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Preparation

________________________________________________
Title:     Preparation
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

The little bird sits in the nest and sings
A shy, soft song to the morning light;
And it flutters a little and prunes its wings.
The song is halting and poor and brief,
And the fluttering wings scarce stir a leaf;
But the note is a prelude to sweeter things,
And the busy bill and the flutter slight
Are proving the wings for a bolder flight!








[The end]
Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem: Preparation
