Murmur

A murmur of starlings and a murder of crows

The parliament starting for the nest and the droves

An army an empire on a march to the sea

The dying of skyfire, long live the queenAnd the wind in the willow and the mockingbird sing

The earth for a pillow, the baby asleep

A network offireflies is talking in code

The secret of twilight, the dim and the glow

And the bramble enshadows the mild and the meek

Dusk in the meadow, the baby asleep
