BPL Higg 35: etext transcription

< bplhigg35.txt.1; poem >
After all
Birds have
been investigated
and laid aside -
Nature imparts
the little Blue-
Bird - assured
Her conscientious
Voice will
soar unmoved
Above ostensible
Vicissitude.
First at the
March - competing
with the Wind -

<verso, first leaf (BPL Higg 35)>
Her panting
Note Exalts
us - like a
friend -
Last to adhere
when Summer
cleaves away -
Elegy of
Integrity.
