THE FABLE OF THE FINCHES, by RUTH SCOFIELD FARGO First Line: Little friendly, golden finches Last Line: Finches out of fragments grew! Alternate Author Name(s): Fordyce, William, Mrs. Subject(s): Finches | |||
Little friendly, golden Finches Singing in my linden tree! I can measure you by inches, Fragile bits of living glee. Once, a sunbeam -- dropped and broken All to smithereens, and more! -- Sprouted wings on each wee token, Grew to Finches, by the score. All my plans may break and shatter, Spoiling all that I would do, But I courage take (no matter), Finches out of fragments grew! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BULLFINCHES by THOMAS HARDY THE BULLFINCH IN TOWN by HENRIETTA (ST.
