Hush!
With sudden gush
As from a fountain
Signs in yonder brush
The Hermit Thrush.
--John B. Tabb
Saw the quote on YT video, which talks about Hermit Thrush. The video showed how wonderful hermit Thrush's song is to our human ears. And yet we human always have a hard time to locate the bird. Because it's small, the color is ambiguous among its environment.
The quote sounds like a fun exercise for the author, especially after I tracked down the whole poem. I feel it is with this leisurely, playful way, showed how flexible this language can be.
