At the Birds' Fair

The birds into the sky again flew for their fair; The humans had but to stare! Myriads and more flew from without, Others from within and ascended out_ The blue sky here was grey, there yellow Here and everywhere was many a sweet hello! The sky seemed confused, Oh, everywhere birds diffused! The mid-year breeze gently blew And the birds still into the mid sky flew. The sun dazzlingly shone; In his lonely state, today, he was not alone! What propelled them from distant lands to come? Oh, i can't to all give a name But eagles, cranes, weavers, kites And just like ravens sung, only performing their usual rites! The humans gazed and gazed_ What had these birds crazed? One human here stood, another there All their eyes into the dazzling air. The contest thus began, When behind a large black bird, two small ran_ At its tail they seemed to pluck, This day, their luck! no one knows what they discussed! A lie here and am cursed! For things of nature still marvel Those humans who travel. In groups myriads and more, The birds left in other skies to soar_ But the humans one by one, Left, like they had come, one by one!
