Seeing as no-one sent in a PM, then I guess it's going to Killearn Kitties, so well done! Here it is in full:
To the Cuckoo
O blithe new~comer! I have heard,
I hear thee and rejoice:
O Cuckoo! Shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering voice?
While I am lying on the grass,
I hear thy restless shout:
From hill to hill it seems to pass,
About, and all about!
To me, no Babbler with a tale
Of sunshine and of flowers,
Thou tellest, Cuckoo! In the vale
Of visionary hours.
Thrice welcome, Darling of the Spring!
Even yet thou art to me
No Bird; but an invisible Thing,
A voice, a mystery.
The same in whom my School~boy days
I listened to; that cry
Which made me look a thousand ways;
In bush, and tree, and sky.
To seek thee did I often rove
Through woods and on the green;
And thou wert still a hope, a love;
Still longed for, never seen!
And I can listen to thee yet;
Can lie upon the plain
And listen, till I do beget
That golden time again.
O blessed Bird! The earth we pace
Again appears to be
An unsubstantial, faery place;
That is fit home for thee!
William Wordsworth
