Living
Parrots Have Richly Colour'd Wings
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Parrots have richly colour'd wings,
Not so the sweetest bird that sings;
Not so the lonely plaintive dove;
In sadder stole she moans her love,
And every Muse in every tongue
Has heard and praised her nightly song.
