| Motto <Three lovely notes he whistled , too soft to be heard If others sang; but others never sang In the great beech-woood all that May and June. No one saw him: I alone could hear him Though many listened. Was it but four years Ago? or Five? He never came again. Oftenest when I heard him I was alone. Nor could I ever make another hear. La-la-la! he called, seeming far-off― As if a cock crowed past the edge of the world. As if the bird or I were in a dream. Yet that he travelled through the trees and sometimes Neared me, was plain, though somehow distant still He sounded. All the proof is － I told men What I had heard. Ｉ never knew a voice, Man, beast, or bird, better than this, I told The Naturalists; but neither had they heard Anything like the notes that did so haunt me. I had them clear by heart and have them still. Four years or five, have made no difference. Then As now that La-la-la! was bodiless sweet: Sad more than joyfull it was, if I must say That it was one or other, but if sad 'Twas sad only with joy too, too far off For me to taste it. But I cannot tell If truly never anything but fair The days were when he sang, as now they seem. This surely I know, that I who listend then, Happy sometimes, sometimes suffering A heavy body and a heavy heart Now straightway, if I think of it, become Light as that bird wandering beyond my shore...> ――Edward Thomas: The Unknown Bird |
