The Red-Hatted Bird

 

Lo, the sanctity of life
Perched hungry on a sill
Ecclesiastically reddened
Our “belonging to” fills . . . 

O’ eminence of the snow!
In vermilion and rose . . . 
With flurry all surrounding
He’s stilled, claret and robed!

Dignified in beauty 
Evergreen brier, brings. . .
The red-hatted bird
Under a guise, Cardinal's sing . . .
