THRUSHES
by: Karle Wilson Baker
(1878-1960)
 hrough Tanglewood the thrushes trip,
- As brown as any clod,
- But in their spotted throats are hung
- The vesper-bells of God.
- And I know little secret truths,
- And hidden things of good,
- Since I have heard the thrushes sing
- At dusk, in Tanglewood.
