Nostalgia For the Departed Bluejays

They made a huge nest with straws of golden hay on the top of a fragrant, shady apple tree; and they were the beautiful bluejays of May that constantly warbled until sunset vanished entirely. They have gone to a warmer place with pretty cotton fields... before winter approaches and turns into a white blanket, but my nostalgia for the departed bluejays with soft wings fills the chilly and stormy air with something I can't predict. Oh, bluejays which other bluest sky you fly under... without the fear of an impetous, frightful thunder, to find that haven which delights even a restless lark when sunrise arises his desire to be a free heart? Luckily, they won't be here when the frigid wheather will be coming... when that glistening blanket of snow will cover every meadow; they will remember spring battering the land with a sudden windstorm... and listening to their cheerful song, brought true joy to my living. Oh, bluejays from this icy window I yearn for a celestial, melodic praise! Could anything console me as the moon wanes, if sunrise offers no hope for my deep longing that soars over miles of frozen sky...until it awakens me from dreaming?
