40. The Nest |

Don't move! Don't touch! Don't speak! Do you see: A blackbird's nest In the holly tree?
Look very carefully In between Last year's prickle And this year's green…
Timid and brown, The mother bird Listens, and watches. Has she heard?
Whisper! Whisper! Do you see? A blackbird's nest In a holly tree?
