Explore "The Blackbird" by Théophile Gautier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A bird from yonder branch at dawn / Is trilling forth a joyful note, / Or hopping o'er the frozen lawn, / In yellow boots and ebon coat.
It is the blackbird credulous. / Little of calendar knows he, / Whose soul, with sunbeams luminous, / Sings April to the snows that be.
