THE EGRET GOES HOME TO HER ROOST (Monday Poem)

by Jane Yolen


Bedtime--and like an arrow loosed,
The Great Egret flies back to roost
With others of her company
To decorate a greening tree.

Like great white balls, they seem to light
The soft and mellow southern night.
They sleep the dusky dark away,
To rise again and greet the day.
