*Kestrel*
In a sky ballroom
The kestrel,
A stately dancer.
He is a true artist –
His art is not divorced
From life
And death.
*Owl*
Night-winged
As a ghost
Or a gangster,
Mystical as a black priest
Reading the Devil's Mass.
*Lark*
Morning star
Announcing the birth
Of a love-child.
*Corn-crake*
A cry in the wilderness
Of meadow.
Four Birds was written by Patrick Kavanagh.
