Autumn Birds

By John Clare

The wild duck startles like a sudden thought,
And heron slows as if it might be caught;
The flopping crows on weary wings go by,
And greybeard jackdaws, noising as they fly;
The crowds of starlings whizz and hurry by
And darken like a cloud the evening sky;
The larks like thunder rise and suther round
Then drop and nest in the stubble ground;
The wild swan hurries high and noises loud,
With white neck peering to the evening cloud.
The weary rooks to distant woods are gone;
With length of tail the magpie winnows on
To neighboring tree, and leaves the distant crow,
While small birds nestle in the hedge below.
