Our Lady of feathers

Bushes raw and bald, spring-keen brush of blackthorne and haw,

Rushflutters of aweing birdflight; thrushes and blackcaps alighting.

Delight’s zenith reposes in every leaf

The heath we keep well well keeps

Forest and dwellers rude healthed

We logged all that went on

From lop-needing treetops

To bottoms soggy and mossen, frog-hot rotten logs.
