Replenished
Mountain’s deep snowpack
Creeks feeding mighty rivers—
Living waters flow

Awakened
Gathering each day
Birds’ welcoming harmony—
Perfection in song

Praised
Field planting finished
Another day filled with rain—
Farmers celebrate

In order to see birds, it is necessary to become a part of the silence.
There is nothing in which the birds differ from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.
Robert Lynd (1879-1949) was an Irish writer, who was best known for his poetry and essays.
