Sabbaths 2011 VII (Monday Poem)

 by Wendell Berry


Off in the woods in the quiet
morning a redbird is singing
and his song goes out around him
greater than its purpose,
a welcoming room of song
in which the trees stand,
through which the creek flows.


from This Day: Collected & New Sabbath Poems by Wendell Berry
Counterpoint, 2013
