Pigeon, by : Lilian Moore
Pigeon are city folkContentTo live with concreteAnd cement
They seldom TryThe sky
A pigeon never singsOf hillAnd flowering hedgeBut busily commutesFrom sidewalkTo his ledge
Oh Pigeon what waste of wings!
Burung Dara, oleh : Lilian Moore
Burung dara seperti orang kotaYang puasHidup dengan bangunan semen
Mereka jarangMencoba pergi ke luar
Seekor burung dara tidak pernah menyanyiTentang gunungDan berbunga di antara semak-semak.Tetapi sibuk berjalanDari pinggir jalan Ke pinggiran
Oh burung dara, sayap yang sia-sia!
Lilian Moore
