BLUEBIRD by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: HARK! 'TIS THE BLUEBIRD'S VENTUROUS STRAIN
Subject(s): BIRDS; BLUEBIRDS;
Hark! 'tis the bluebird's venturous strain
High on the old fringed elm at the gate-
Sweet-voiced, valiant on the swaying bough,
Alert, elate,
Dodging the fitful spits of snow,
New England's poet-laureate
Telling us Spring has come again!
