I have been very inspired by birds lately for spring. So, I have a new teacup with a poem by Wordsworth, The Redbreast Chasing the Butterfly. (Just quoting an excerpt of the poem)
What ailed thee, Robin, that thou could'st pursue
A beautiful creature,
That is gentle by nature?
Beneath the summer sky
From flower to flower let him fly;
'Tis all that he wishes to do.
The cheerer Thou of our in-door sadness,
He is the friend of our summer gladness:
What hinders, then, that ye should be
Playmates in the sunny weather,
And fly about in the air together!
