Notes About The Poem

The Lark is regarded as the bird of the Bards in the Druid tradition and has three black dots on its tongue.

The Lark:

A Lark sang to me
Of all the joy in the world
Though, fleeting it was
Still, the Lark sings on and on
And will forever return

Funny you should say that I do feed the little devils every morning, I know I shouldn't encourage them, but I do enjoy having them around! They don't call me Budgie for nothing! Haha. Thanks, Tim /|\
