AS THE DAY BREAKS

/ pray you what is asleep?
The lily pads, and rifles and the reeds;
No longer inward do the waters creep
No longer outwardly their force recedes.
The Widowed Night, In blackness wide
and deep,
Resumes her weeds.
pray you, what's awaken
A host Of stars, the long, long milky
way
That stretches out, glistening silver
flake,
All glorious beneath the moons cold
ray,
And myriad reflections on the lake
Where star-gleams lay.
l pray you, what's astir?
Why, naught but rustling leaves, dry,
sere and brown;
The Easts broad gates are yet dusky
blur
And star-gems twinkle in fair Luna's
crown,
And minor chords Of wailing winds that
were
Die slowly down.
I pray you what's o'clock?
Nay, who shall answer that but gray
stoled dawn?
See how from out the shadows looms yon
rock
Like some great figure on a canvas
drawn;
And heard you not the growing Of the
cock?
The night is gone.

Ducks and Birds Can Fly
From Surface of the Water

Canvas-back and red-head ducks,
which are very quick of movement,
after deep diving are capable of taking
flight Immediately upon coming to the
surface of the water. They do not
spring directly upward into the air,
but fly at first at an angle until they
reach the desired elevation. Surface
feeding wild fowl, like the black duck,
pintail and teal, fly directly upward
from the surface of the water if the
emergency demands it.
