The Living Picture


The pear tree leaning to the window now is robed in bridal white.  The twisted boughs are netted thickly in a mesh of golden light.  And in the foam of creamy flowers, a blackbird dark as ebony --- sits and floods the evening garden with his April melody.

Through the long grey days of winter I have dreamed this dream of Spring.  I have waited for this wonder:  bursting bud and beating wing.  Now I see a living picture at the casement of my room:  throbbing throat and flowering branches; glossy breast and snowy bloom.
