"As when, complaining in melodious groans, Sweet Philomel, beneath a poplar shade, Mourns her lost young, which some rough village hind Observing, from their nest, unfledged, has stole: She weeps all night; and, perched upon a bough, With plaintive notes repeated fills the grove."
Joseph Trapp

January 1, 1970
