Thrush & Chicks, Giclee Print

Hermit Thrush, the Vermont State Bird

Lines referring to the Hermit Thrush,
“When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd”
by Walt Whitman -

In the swamp, in secluded recesses,
A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song.
 
Solitary, the thrush,
The hermit, withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements,
Sings by himself a song.
 
Song of the bleeding throat!
Death’s outlet song of life—
(for well, dear brother, I know
If thou wast not gifted to sing, thou would’st surely die.)
