More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

When you came winging home in May

And fancied that your roundelay
Was one Of unreflecting glee.
Poor bird" said I, "if he but knew
How often everything goes wrong
While journeying q life time through
He'd spend less time in futile song"
Meanwhile the cherry blossoms fell
And / embarked in the pursuit
OF worms and bugs that love so we'll
To bore and blast the ripening fruit.
And as 1 labored all day through
And from aloft your notes would
throb-
I thought it very nice of you
To cheer me at my arduous job.
"Too bad" thought, "that one so
kind
AS you have been to me this spring,
Before the season dies, must find
That song is but futile thing.
Too bad that when the cherries swell
1 shall amass a goodly hoard,
While you, who sang to me so well
Gain absolutely no reward"
Today I visited the tree
Which you before me came to CLEAN,
No ruby fruit was left for me
This morning you had stripped it
clean.
know, and to my sorrow now
That you were right and I was
wrong
What time you hoped from bough to
bough
You had good reason for your song.
