Lo- Ever Pleasant GOLDEN PHEASANT
“Oh, allure thine my heart
Chinese pheasant, O rainbow pheasant ever pleasant
Lo! Golden Pheasant”
With golden crest such art,
native to mountainous forests.
In the dense forest you may rest.
These too are also names you enlist
Thy unmistakable bright red body
Alternating black and orange fan insist
Brightly yellow eye with a pinpoint black pupil spotty
Family Phasianidae
Oh, How you so fly
Ancient Greek khrusolophos
O’ Game bird of the order Galliformes
Pingere painted khrusolophos
Latin pictus painted beautiful Galiiformes
Glorious, Glamorous beautiful you are, you are
