“Now
he hears a footstep; wakes a sleeping power;
Wide-winged
and wonderful sails away, and slow.—
I
can see a tall knight ‘neath a lady’s bower,
Riding
with a shorn plume at his saddle bow.”-- Will H. Ogilvie, “The
Heron,” from Bright Wings: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems about Birds, edited
by Billy Collins (2010)
