no hummingbirds

signs of the changing year no tropic birds
hover outside my window over flowers
the air is clear above the city's towers

the cars move slowly in their morning herds
the shivering bear in deepest forest cowers
signs of the changing year no tropic birds

more here than comes across in normal words
we wait and wait for soft and warming showers
and wonder at the failing of our powers
signs of the changing year no tropic birds
