The wren’s lost his crown
In the thorns and the fern.
Now redbreast is king,
And spring will return!

A pigeon looks on at
A blue-tit in branches,
The ducks and the swans,
Sail past in huge tranches.

A goose looks me over,
With a dubious glare,
And then a grey heron
Takes off in the air.

A moorhen steps bravely
Alone on the ice,
Some seagulls do likewise
But can launch in a thrice.
