DOVE NOTES by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: THE SOFT, STRANGE NOTE OF THE DOVES, TO WHAT
Last Line: LIKE MELODY HEARD UNDER WATER, OR MUSIC DIMMED BY A DREAM.
Subject(s): DOVES; MEMORY; MUSIC & MUSICIANS;

THE soft, strange note of the doves, to what may we liken the sound,
As they flutter high at the eaves or flock for food to the ground?
@3Their murmurings shy, remote, like a lost year's memory seem,
Like melody heard under water, or music dimmed by a dream.@1
