That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning

AND THE LARKS SHRILL PIPE SHALL COME
IN THE MORNING FROM THE FALLOW
AND THE BITTERN BEAT HIS DRUM
IN THE EVENING FROM THE HOLLOW
SIR WALTER SCOTT
NICE AND SIMPLE
