In the Bewitched Aviary

by Pawel Markiewicz

Helots muse about moony Golden Fleece of the condor.
Drudges think of the dreamy eternal dew of the hen.
Philosophers ponder on the winged fantasy of the crow.
Kings ruminate on the picturesque gold of the jay.

Priests contemplate the dreamy, soft, meek charm of the woodpecker.
Masters daydream about nice, marvellous songs of the tern.
Soothsayers dream of the fulfilled gold of the yellowhammer.
Knights philosophize about the poetic dawn of the wren.

Hoplites fantasize about a red sky of the sparrow.
Athletes describe the most tender treasure-charm of the snipe.
Gods remember an enchanted, dear temple of the seagull.
Goddesses recall fairytale-like heroes of the kite.

Poets commemorate the elve-like heaven of the owl.
Bards reflect on the most amazing dreamery of the rook.
