You, goldfinch delight to feed on niger seed

Strikingly lovely in the maple tree that graces the window through which I see

You flit onto the birdbath for a drink

Fly to freedom, quick as a wink

Unlike the heron inside my home

so static adorned with yellow lei

No need to triumph for Olympic Gold

for gold, by nature, is your array
